Pulled, thanks Jeff.

Just a note for the future, and I decided not to push back this time when
I saw it in this series.  When you have a construct like:

	if (x)
		for( ... ) {
		}

Put the top-level condition in braces too as it's much easier to read
and audit:

	if (x) {
		for ( ... ) {
		}
	}

Thanks.
