David, can you please help? This part of the code is yours and I have
no idea how it works. I am surprised that according to Marc the code
simply doesn't work at the moment. Didn't you test it?

Interesting point... David, what are you using this code for then? Same
question for you Marc.

Why do you want to change this?
