 The patch moves a large chunk of code from {{{wp-admin/options.php}}} to a
 new function called {{{process_settings()}}} in {{{wp-
 admin/includes/misc.php}}}.  The patch also modifies the code that's been
 moved.  While both things are good ideas, doing them in one patch obscures
 what changes are being made inside that block of moved code.

 I have pretty much no say in what happens in core, but may I suggest
 making two patches?  One that moves the existing code into the function.
 Then another that makes the rest of the changes.

 Question: this new Network Settings API will use the same API (function
 calls, HTML, etc) as the existing Settings API, right?  So plugins will be
 able to create one settings screen that'll work under both regular and
 multisite installs.  If so, a hearty +1 from me.
