    I agree. Half of the job was done (a large number of bidi bugs were
    exposed), but the other half wasn't (except for the initial wave of
    bugfixes that got most of them, the remaining zombie bidi bugs aren't
    getting fixed). Anyway, a lot of those sticking around drunk off their
    hindquarters at closing time are also present in HEAD still, which is
    bidi-only. Muahahahahaaaa!
