Thanks for the feedback, and glad it suits your needs as well. I
hope that it will progressively encourage a few of us to enhance
it with more tests.

Stupid question, is it really worth postponing it, considering that
we've just introduced this series right now ? I mean, if the current
usage is confusing, it's probably better to propose the fix before
6.1-final ? It's not a new feature here but rather a fix for a recently
introduced one, thus I think it could be part of the next fix series.
Rest assured I don't want to put a mess into your patch workflow, just
asking :-)

Thanks!
Willy
