STOP_SET() is basically a performance improvement.  It would be fine to
use it in more places, but I don't want to change things at this point
unless we are very confident they won't introduce any brown paper bag
bugs for the 4.0 release :-).  So if you're confident, go ahead.

Otherwise we can wait for a followup release.
