This part looks correct :)

This part doesn't seem strictly related to the patch description.
But in looking at it more closely, I wonder if it would be good
to reduce the scope of capability to this context (and leave the bank

In any case, I agree that this patch is correct, and I'm happy with
it with or without the change I suggested above.
