So, Twofish is a logical successor for Blowfish - and let's treat it
like that. If people have Blowfish-encrypted stuff already (which I
doubt, but you never know) - they can do a one-time move. Better

I'm uncomfortable with re-declaring an identifier. It's just not good
engineering practice to my mind. I think it is much better use another
identifier. This would only put us up to 10, and that includes four
identifiers that are presently only reserved. If 2440 were not out, I'd
have no problem. But it is out there, and it just bugs me to redeclare an
identifier if it inconveniences even a single user.
By the bye, an inconvenient page break in 2440 made me say something stupid
in my last message. The identifier should be 10, not 8.
