So maybe it's ancient grotty code, but presumably it works. Since we're
not going to do major development on it or change any of the algorithmic
parts, it's best left alone, so as to not break the second property by
accident. I've seen enough "obvious cleanup" patches subtly break
critical functionality (see also: openssl debacle) that I think it's
just not worth it.
