Refactoring will not affect existing hooks. They will get the same data as
before. Huge methods will be split to much smaller protected ones,
variables renamed to have speaking names, code cleaned up from redundancy.
Existing methods will work as wrappers, so no external code change will be
necessary.

It is all possible. I am quite sure it is possible to refactor the whole
TCEmain in a 1–2 weeks of full time work + a week for testing and tuning.
But it is a huge job, which needs enthusiasm. The result is having faster
and easier to read code.
