The p2m is redundant in most uses, and the t isn't very descriptive. I
think "type" would be fine.

"change"

I think you've enumerated all the options, so it is better to leave out
the default -- then at least some compilers will complain if we add a
new type and forget to add it here.

The bulk of the patch looks good though, thanks.
