It's a shame you didn't Cc Christoph, who was the sole reviewer of the
earlier version.

And it's a shame you didn't capture the result of that review
discussion in the v3 changelog.

And it's a shame that you didn't describe how this patch differs from
earlier versions.


Oh well, here's the incremental patch:
