This is essentially the same change as James proposed, just in a
different style to avoid having to reshuffle counters and freeing
memory that wasn't used.
I don't want to steal your commit James, so I first tried to phrase
this change in prose. But I ended up deleting what I had written since
it seemed much easier to just write the diff.

I'm a bit short on time so I only compiled-tested this.
Does Jame's test still pass with this?
