It'd be better if separating out this function is a separate patch.
Mixing factoring out something and adding new stuff makes the patch a
bit harder to read.

While I think the above should work at the beginning, what if @miter
is in the middle of iteration and __remaining isn't zero?

Looks good to me otherwise.

Thanks.
