Thanks, but:

This fix wouldn't work if the first argument was itself a function
with multiple arguments.

And this is whitespace formatted incorrectly.

It:

o needs a space after if
o needs a space after the comma in the fix
o needs to use the appropriate amount and tabs for indentation
o needs alignment to open parentheses
o the backslashes are not required in the fix block

Do you want me to push what I wrote in the link below?
