Exactly. And that is what is written in the changelog of the patch.
But all that does not matter, the change results in more correct code
than the current one is; and that is all that matters.

Sure, I see your point, and support your effort, but I don't think
your arguments are related to this patch and you are hijacking
something unrelated, which should be discussed in a separate mail
thread, that's all.

Thanks,
Kay
