The commit log should describe why. And if its not used now why is it
being introduced separately. If its to make changes eaiser to read it
shoudl say so.

So builtin thing is set but is it used at this point? Does this patch
make any functional changes? If not why not?

The change from !dup to (dup) continue makes your changes harder to
read. It would be good to make that change separately so to make it
easier to read what you are doing differently.

Same here. You could just fold the changes which negate the check into
and shif the code into one patch with 0 functional changes. Then a
second patch with your changes.
