FWIW, I tend to agree. If it is possibly useful to others, and it's
not intrusive, it is all good reasons for the patch to go in. I took
a look just to have an idea of what it's about, and it seems like
a reasonably uninvasive patch...
As always, I always marvel at the beautiful and informative comments
that explain why we have to do all these horrible things :-).
