I've been using "uextractor" (don't remember if I saw that somewhere
or just made it up) but extractor_type or extractor_utype or any of
the ones don't horrify me.  Although I suppose it should be some
combination of "extractor" and "u".

Thanks for doing this work.

I'd be tempted to call it "i" - the universal symbol for an iteration
variable.

Right, let's try to build on that except where it is clearly broken
(e.g. the infamous unit, unit2, unit3 case).
