It was not an entirely new concept; aliasing issues had remained unresolved
for at least a couple of quarterly meetings.  The particular form which the
solution took was new, but then it was only in the last couple of months that
we have had the "type qualifiers" cleanly separated out as such in the grammar,
so the "noalias" solution wasn't really viable until the last meeting.
