OK, maybe I'm a performance junkie, but I saw you had to
pessimize before_replace to add support for blackhole, and thought
for a minute that for the task at hand you could get by with
    on_replace(). Now I realize your patch is off the hot path,
    before_replace is expensive because it makes a lookup, not
    because there's a few branches here and there.

Thanks, it's OK to push this patch as well then. I assume you will
be adding a test case for space-with-no-indexes in a later patch?
