Hi Masahiro Yamada,
I think this patch will make me feel comfortable, so I submitted this
change.
However, this submission may not be perfect. I just put forward my
ideas. If you think it can be added, you are welcome to point out the
parts that need to be modified. I will fix them as required and resubmit
the v2 version.
Thanks,
Zach
