  Aargh - I was working on it just now because I wasn't sure if anyone
felt they "had the ball on their court".

What I've tested is moving the call last, as shown in the attached
diff.  Not technically necessarily better, but as the comment explains,
I move it last so that it's after we've purged all relevant caches.
That way, the function is organized in two rough sections:
  - do purges first;
  - do updates next.
Your comment is a lot more detailed, I like it.

I think yours is fine too.
I'm ok with using it.

Hi.
There's value in the simplicity of your approach so I
committed it to trunk and the branch.
