Bart pointed out I didn't actually attach the patch, but it's now
committed in f9d7651c25.  No noticeable change of behaviour is expected
yet.  I started looking at the front end last night; it's not difficult,
just quite a bewildering number of things to switch to unmetafied.
Overall it should actually be slightly simpler after the change because
we were remembering quite a lot of positions as unmetafied already.
