The change in blead is fine; Coro needs fixing, as suggested by Daniel.

That commit changed the implementation of PADNAMELISTs, and at the same
time made PadlistNAMES() be rvalue only. There doesn't seem to be part of
the API to allow you to *change* the namelist of a padlist, so I guess
Coro would have to unofficially do something like:
PadnamelistREFCNT(PadlistNAMES(padlist));
PadlistARRAY(newpadlist)[0] = PadlistNAMES(padlist);
It's possible that making PadlistNAMES() rvalue-only was an unintended
side-effect, and that we should fix it for 5.22.1, with something like:
-#define PadlistNAMES(pl) ((PADNAMELIST *)*PadlistARRAY(pl))
+#define PadlistNAMES(pl) *((PADNAMELIST **)PadlistARRAY(pl))
but that's probably for FC to decide.

No idea. That's one of the problems with Marc not using a public bug
tracking system.

None of the above. They are both things that need fixing in Coro.

Somebody ought to make him aware of this thread, but I'm not going to do
it. I've put up with far too much personal abuse from him to ever interact
with him again if I can avoid it.

I don't know.
