I think changing finish_command_continuation from a void function into
a static void function does not really qualify as obvious.  I'm
talking about this part of the patch:

Not that I'm objected to this change, but IMHO it shouldn't have been
done without at least a call for comments, or a few days of delay, to
give people some time to react.
