I finally found some time to review you new patch set thoroughly.
And I have to say that this is an extremely nice patch, fun to read the
comments and follow all the steps.
Also I appreciate the newly added tests, not to forget the bomb fix.

The API is cleaner, the macros are real statements, all in all a great 
enhancement.

Out of curiosity, how did you split your big path into many?
It looks like a lot of work, but it made sense, because it is a logically
consistent story to read.
Did you work with two repos and copied hunks with a diff tool?
Actually life is easier with github, it has more options to stash changes,
merge changes, staging them etc.
But I'm working with bitbucket as well. Works not that bad with 
"sourcetree".

How do you now apply the diff to all the versions? Again taking checkin 
by checkin
and running the test, maybe, or is there a simpler way?

Hope that this goes into Stackless ASAP. Can I help with something?

cheers - Chris
