Given you've shown that this is equivalent to the version in
fbfb29b304e, and having taken a look at that commit, I'd be just as
happy to see that commit merged into the gdb-16-branch.  The patch isn't
small, but equally, it's pretty contained and straight forward, so I
don't see huge risk there.

But if you're happier with this approach in the gdb-16-branch, that's
fine with me.
