    + This is optimized in several subtle ways over the current method.  This
      is documented in Maintainer.txt, along with a correctness proof.
    
    + I'll replace all the BTree searches with this soon.  For now I just
      changed _BTree_get().  I *suspect* this also fixes a subtle bug
      introduced by the recent "don't ignore comparison error" patch:  if a
      comparison did trigger an exception, the function just returned without
      doing the PER_ALLOW_DEACTIVATION + PER_ACCESSED dance.  _BTree_get()
      does that dance again now.
