Should this have a Fixes:?

Should this have a Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Pls pick up Tested-by's when resending.

I just don't like __underscore_means_inner_function() I
strongly prefer function_has_a_proper_name() so please
come up with something that describes what it is really doing
and name it like that.

With that fixes, I'll apply it pronto.
