If you want to reengineer other things about this, please feel free to
do so after with follow-up commits. This keeps the same path location
root as the code that it replaces. Let's do one thing at a time. If we
do all these things at once, it'll be hard to fix regressions or
understand what's happened. This commit here improves one dimension of
things. Future ones from you can add additional features or tweaks or
whatever else.
