Okay, then maybe just always push a full invalidation?

I didn't like seeing the range invalidation lifted out, especially how
ugly that will turn into after my next series. So, don't use range or
use the proper full gather flow seem like the right two options.

I'm not so interested in minimal change, but maximum forward
maintainability. It is much easier to manage if you double compile
more of the driver exactly the same, and call functions in a fairly
normal way vs make special cases and special functions..
