That may have been me. I renamed a lot of the structures at one point,
because they were so misnamed as to add to the confusion. No real code
changed in that pass, though we have made incremental improvements to
the code in this release.
I don't think Vadim has started making changes for LLL there yet, but he
can tell us.
