You're going to have to elaborate (not necessarily on the list), because
I didn't see much of a (functional) difference from what we did last

a pull from the "central repository" from where I was sitting.

Actually, I'm more interested in some of your programming techniques,
like the *_PATTERNS/dispatch table trick.  I want to see what else
you've got hidden in there.
