Looks good - pulled, thanks Jaswinder!

Would you be interested in resurrecting the more mechanic cleanups 
you did as well, on top of this patch?

They are still valuable, we just have to keep them separate from a 
potential breakage-causing change like the above one, so that if a 
tester bisects to it, we have an as single-purpose and focused 
commit to look at as possible.
