Yeah of course, and I did low quality job earlier no issues admitting
that, so let's do this correct this time. I just try to describe
what I'm seeing as accurately as I can :-) 

Here it is just important to get the explanation and the code change
in-sync so that it is easy to verify and compare them, given that it
is quite sensitive functionality and somewhat obfuscated peace of code
showing age. 

Also I think a good is to make sure that every fix will leave it at
least a bit cleaner state. From this basis I proposed a bit different
layout for the code.
