OK, I threw in the towel on that one for tonight.
I'll send a patch to revert this changeset, in the coming minutes.

It will have to be revisited later on, and hopefully we can come to a
proper solution during the pre-rc1 window, or at worst, early during the
-rc phase (as I'm on holidays the next two weeks, I should find sometime
to gather what remains of my courage to look at that again).

Really sorry for the inconvenience... :-(

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
