Oops, ok, I'll drop that from the commit message in v2.  I was testing
with the former.

Got it, will drop in v2.

Ooh, you're right. Sorry about that Ilie.  I'm usually pretty pedantic
about getting that right; my mistake.  I'll fix that in v2.  As Sedat
noted, the issue tracker has been a little quiet on this issue, but
I'll note that there are extraordinary circumstances going on in the
world these days (COVID) so delays should be anticipated.

Ilie, may I put your authorship and signed off by tag on the V2?
