Did not take it like that :)

Which kind of was. This wasn't supposed to be merge and was a mistake on my
part when formatting the patch. It was discussed with David before merging
and we decided to keep it since it was not harmful or *used* and proved
useful. But with the effect it has and unwanted repercussion(confusion,
missing mention in commit etc.) it seems not every aspect where evaluated.
Hence I don't mind this patch and almost welcome it.

Cheers!
