To be honest, I wasn't surprised when you sent me the same patch and
ignored most of my comments. For the future, please let me know if I'm
wasting my time with commenting on your stuff so that I can plan my work
and not waste time and energy reviewing, ok?

Unfortunately, if you want something done right, you have to do it
yourself.

So I did that, I split that ugly cleanup into something much more
readable, patches as a reply to this message.

Feel free to base your work ontop of
