Let's start with your version, and leave the door open.  The version I have
would need a bit of cleaning, re-checking if GCC's implementation changed
meanwhile (ISTR there have been recent patches to address some DRs), check
that it compiles against clang and older gcc's (4.8, etc.).  I already have too
many balls in the air ATM.

My series is all in master.  I think we'll still need your patch, since I only
touched ui_files.  I haven't done anything with ui_out list/tuple building.
