If I were you, I'd leave the patch as-is and wait for Greg review.

I was only reporting some words that I recall I read in some emails of Greg. 
But it is highly probable that those contexts were a bit different or that 
the statements were much more complex.

As far as what my personal preference is, I think that you shouldn't care 
because I'm not one of the maintainers. Above all, even if I were one of the 
maintainers I'd never prevent developers to use their own style with this 
kind of statements.

To summarize, you'd better leave the patch as-is.

Thanks,

Fabio
