Hey Guiseppe,

Thanks for the patch!

Hm, please expand on the use-cases a little here so people know where
and how this is useful. Keeping the rationale for a change in the commit
log is really important.

The separation between how cur_fd is retrieved in the two branches makes
the code more difficult to follow imho. Unless there's a clear reason
why you've done it that way I would think that something like the patch
I appended below might be a little clearer and easier to maintain(?).

I think I don't have quarrels with this patch in principle but I wonder
if something like the following wouldn't be easier to follow:
