Nobody really knows it very well unfortunately.
For now I just go with the strategy of adding lots of comments,
hopefully that at least means we can avoid breaking it in the same
way multiple times.
I pushed it but only afterwards realized a big mess-up:
the issue it fixes is #941, so I added a comment to #438 to
clear that up.
