A couple of people have asked me on IRC what the joinPatches removal is about :-)

Dropping the calls to joinPatches is part of a general campaign to get rid of it as an 
unnecessary type class member; I did quite a lot of the work towards doing that in a 
series of patches cleaning up the patch code a couple of years ago, and this one was 
initially done as part of my rebase changes but turns out to stand alone.

In a later patch that will come once I find time to clean up the rebase branch, I expect 
to remove it completely from the FromPrims class.

Thanks for the explanation Ganesh! Accepted.
