Nevermind, if you *really* want me to replace this "3 - 1" with "2"
and explain in the comment that the "2" is a result of "3 - 1". I'll
do this. I admit this is a style issue. So it is hard to argue and
reach an agreement. Just reply with a request and I'll make the
change. However I'm not able to agree with you in my heart.
