I have been trying to convince myself that it's ok to not verify
that the unique field inside the struct is not a float. It looks
OK to me, but do you confirm as well?

The patch seems OK to me, but could you merge the two comments instead
of adding one right after the current one. Also, there is a missing "s"
in "unless". The indenting seems a bit odd in the diff, but I imagine
this is because of tabulations (when are we going to get rid of these
horros...).

Thanks,
