My rehaul of the patch (removing the PrimPatchRaw complications and
restoring all tests) has left me convinced that this is the right way to
solve the problem, especially with the latest version that turns V1.Prim
and V2.Prim into real patch types (i.e. no longer patch transformers).
V1.Prim and V2.Prim really /are/ different types, even though their
representation is identical.
