FWIW, my problem with this patch is that I remain unconvinced of the basic
correctness of the transform (specifically the unique-ification approach).
Noah's points would be important to address if we were moving the patch
towards commit, but I don't see much reason to put effort into it until
we can think of a way to prove whether that works.
