Gotcha.  The few commits that has happened after I rewrote the cc mode
variant should be compliant assignment-wise, but I'll double-check.
Most are very, very small.

@jostein, could we just iterate on it the next couple of days? I can do
the coding, but I'm not bathing in C# these days, so it would be nice
with some real life usage too :-)
