I wrote/copied some of it about 4 years ago, but I can't remember where
it came from conceptually. It doesn't seem like something I'd have
thought of but I can't remember where it is from.
It was mostly to deal with crazy random encodings coming out of various
packages at the time, istr there was a hangup with random versions with
garbage in changelog and other fields and this dealt with that.
lemme see if the mailing list archives show any of this off.
