It's less readable because instead of having similar stuff together, it's
at opposite ends of the file.

Oh for gods sake, why do people take things to the extreme?

I looked into doing exactly that and decided it was a *bad* *idea* because
it stupidly multiplies the number of ops structures.  Instead of having a
few well-defined and well-understood ops structures, you end up with one
ops structure per special case.

Then you're going to be back into adding all that sodding crap that you
had back before I cleaned up the enable/disable shite.

No, please don't do this, this would definitely be a total backwards step.

Please take a moment to think about the changes you're doing.
