That is what I talked about. I agree with your analysis of the problem
and I agree with fixes. But I do not agree with how you created them:
why do we ever neen 1.15 version, since immediately after that we have
1.16 which completely rewrite what was done in previous one?
This applies to the whole patchset: there are essentially several bug
fixes and several features, so separate them into several patches, which
do not collide with each other in the above way.
