I don't think it makes sense to put this on the emacs-26 branch,
sorry.  I even have evidence: the fact that one of the hunks
re-introduced a previously solved bug, as pointed out by Robert.

This code is very delicate and very central to Emacs operation.  It's
very easy to break Emacs subtly by seemingly-innocent changes in that
area.  We really need to test it much more than a few weeks before we
are confident enough it is bug-free.  The master branch is where such
changes should be tested.
