I was just wondering on irc why 'offset' is needed.

I looked at all the calls to set_value_offset to see if that was
interesting.  Mostly they occur right after value construction --
those I think are not useful.

There are a few remaining ones I didn't understand.  I guess I need to
read more.

Yeah, me too.

Do you want to work on solving this, or shall I?
