Any reason why the function args need splitting over two lines?

Seems like a spurious indentation change.

Another spurious whitespace change.

Huh? As is, the above addition doesn't do anything because insn has
already been modified. I guess you played with the idea that you needed
to avoid changing insn (you don't) and then didn't undo the experiment
quite right. :-)

No need to split the above line, you haven't changed it and it doesn't
exceed 80 characters anyway.
