This split probably makes sense in the context of the evolution of
this series. If this were without any prior discussion, a change to
the internal mechanism, without showing how the end-user facing half
would use it fully, would have been hard to evaluate, but now that
we know where the new mechanism wants to take us, we can fairly
evaluate it alone without the end-user facing part.
I've read only the earlier half of the series but so far the pieces
make sense to me.
