That wouldn't be a bad idea, actually. The current AA implementation is
so horribly broken, and so wrong in so many ways (there are at least 75
bugs related to AA's, some of the worst of which are 11037, 11025,
10916, 10525, 10381, 10380, 10046, just to name a few), that it would do
a world of good to get rid of them altogether, and then reintroduce a
properly-designed library solution for them.

Of course, in the meantime everyone whose code breaks because of that
will form a mob to lynch me, so I'll have to survive long enough to get
the library solution working first. :-P
