I'd guess that if I make another patch, no one else will actually look at the
discussion on the first one  (though maybe no one will look at it either
way)... I'd rather get another couple of opinions about it before burying
that conversation.

Okay. At least for me, the goals are twofold, because not only is the
implementation odd, but I consider  the semantics broken as well. But even
just fixing the obvious implementation problems would be a big  improvement.

Cheers,
