Thank you very much for reviewing the patch and replying with your
feedback!
I agree that this is not the most sexy file in the tree to be modifying,
but I'm not seeking fame and fortune by doing this, just trying to
optimize the few corners I find - every little bit helps; right?

Fair enough. Seeing your version of this and looking a second time at mine
I have to agree completely.
You are absolutely right in stating that the compiler will handle this
just fine, so it's only a readabillity issue and your version is a *lot*
more readable than what I came up with.
I've updated the patch below - the original changelog bit still applies,
only change is what you pointed out above.
