Hi,

I hope I set you in CC for a patch set doing exactly that.

Do not let me or other maintainers discourage you from writing patches.
Look at it this way. Had you not written this patch, I would not have
looked into the matter. Patches are supposed to be reviewed.
If you want additional information, just ask. We do not want
people discouraged from writing substantial patches.

	Regards
		Oliver
