Thank.  I've taken the first 4 onto for-next, which is still targeted 
for 5.20, as they're fixes.  I'm not opposed to taking the documentation 
patch for this cycle as well, it just needs some going-over as the 
wording looks very odd (or at least it does to me right now, maybe I'm 
just still half asleep).  Patch 5 is a new feature, and given that it's 
being spun during the merge window it's too late.
