NIT: I can't understand why you think the previous single patch needed to be
split. Despite I can't understand why, I have nothing against it :-)

Thanks,

Fabio

P.S.: Next time please take note somewhere (maybe after the three dashes?)
that you are re-using my commit message word by word. I'd appreciate it :-)
However, it doesn't really matter much so please _don't_ send a newer patch
only for this little request.
