Hi Joe,

Why the resend?  Given change of description, I'm guessing this is v2
because of feedback on a similar patch elsewhere. If so, please
put the version number in the patch log and provide a changelog
below the ---

Hmm. I guess I don't really mind cleaning this up though it is
some churn in core code which is usually something we try to avoid
for fairly trivial style reasons.

One request inline (though I suspect it applies in several places,
I just haven't checked ;)

Thanks,

Jonathan

a side effect of this change a slight shortening of how long the above
two lines will be if combined into one.  It's now sub 80 chars
I think, so please make them a single line.  Also check for similar
cases elsewhere.
