One could possibly argue that the right solution is to put the
operations in classes?  There has from time to time been suggestions
and discussion about doing this, but I guess there are significant
obstacles -- surely, somebody must have tried to clean this up?  Or is
using MPTC (which possibly will be necessary?) regarded as too
non-standard for a library?
