Most of his patch was very nice indeed.  In fact it duplicated a 
good portion of what I hadn't committed yet in my tree.  (With some
nice changes.)  He who commits first.

Don't bother rewriting that yet.  My next commit is going to completely
change the interface.

Not really.  The problem with the interface is the broken stack metaphor, 
and wasn't really fixed but patched.  Not requiring the statusid upon 
removal is seriously broken.  It may stick with the broken stack metaphor 
but it doesn't mirror the intent in any fashion what-so-ever.  (My next
commit will get rid of the poor metaphor.)
