They are very useful and thanks a lot for them! I'm asking these as to
understand how to proceed. I have in queue 2 other series that depends
on this and I'm just asking info on how to speedup the progress on this!

Soo think I have to send v3 with the suggested change and BUG() dropped?
Happy to do everything to fix and improve this series!
