I was perhaps too focused on *my* situation. Nosed around with some crude
(embedded) timing (should have done this first!) and those chunks of logic in
ImplEnumeration don't even show up on the radar. So that's (performance)
probably not a strong reason to tear it out (I doubt size is either) - and the
sort of automatic adapter idea might be helpful to others...
