I also feel you should be methodical about this. Separating the action
in two patches was actually a good thing.

BTW, the code is actually quite sprinkled with technical debt already.
Cleaning it up incrementally is better than not making any progress at all.

BTW 2, there may have actually been good reasons for keeping the deque
alias a bit. After all, it was public.

I'm perfectly ok with not sending such patches any more though, if you
don't want them.
