Re: MI varobj artificial fields

I assumed that in cases where the protections were interleaved it was  
just cruft of history, and if you were going to see protections at  
all, it would make more sense to put them in just three groups.  If  
you have turn-outs, then of course it makes more sense to have three,  
since otherwise you do a little "did I turn out the right private"  
dance which is pretty annoying.  There probably isn't one correct  
answer to this question.
