Hereby resolving to stop fucking nerd-sniping myself while making these important security-related changes to Paramiko.

It's one thing to "make thing better while you're touching it" & opportunistically edit code I wrote most of myself, like Fabric and Invoke.

It's another entirely for a ~25-year-old codebase (ie: many historical layers, API inconsistencies across eras, etc), the majority of whose LOC are (still!) not written by me or my core contributors (ie: style/layout differences constantly causing an eye-twitch).
