Pulled, thanks Jesse.

The merge conflict directions were particularly helpful.

If you ever do the merge yourself (I'm ambivalent about where you or I
do it), make sure you force the merge commit message to have a
description of the conflict resolution similarly to what you provided
here.

Thanks again.
