Yes, I've been considering reverting that patch.

However, some of the problems we've found would have arisen in other 
contexts as well; that's just where they happened so show up.  Falsely 
assuming that something is an integral constant-expression (which has 
been the source of several of the bugs) could result in many other 
problems as well.

I hope to look at this some more today.
