Excellent, thanks for sending this, I'll get it tested as part of the series.

Does anyone have use-cases that broke in 3.16 due to this bug? If so,
it absolutely should be split out and CCed to -stable. I'll split it
out regardless, and if someone can speak up with a broken situation,
I'll add the CC.

Thanks!
