I don't know if it can be simplified. I see a couple things that could 
be different, but not necessarily better. In any case, the complexity of 
(a) is centralized, versus being distributed into many separate files 
(and only slightly lessened in most cases). Adding support to an 
ad/ae/ao is much easier with my approach.

Have you looked at the patches for (b)? I don't seem to have provided a 
link earlier.
