Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to add this in my changelog. I have written this
in cover letter.
I made this change mostly to support patch 3/7.

I agree that the the original code is more readable. If we don't care
about the small overhead when tracing is on and forget patch 3/7,
of course the original code is by far better.
