Right, so I obviously "fat fingered" that and should have read my email 
once more before sending. *But* the point really was just the "put all the 
parameters on one line rather than 3" bit...

As for who cares; well, I cared enough to actually read the patch and send 
a reply, and I thought we needed more reviewers... When I review something 
I comment on everything I spot from bugs to trivial stuff - then it is 
up to the recipient to pick the things they want to address from the 
reply..
