Right.  I'll have to pay closer attention next time.

I wonder, though, if there got to be a lot of different peers for different
platforms, if it would be worth having abstract Classpath classes for the
various peer interfaces, so you don't have to update every peer every time
something changes (even if that's not very frequent).  It doesn't seem
essential now, but in future might be worth doing (if the number of
supported platforms gets large).
