Cool! So, patch 0003 should more likely belong to this discussion. :)

I reviewed and tested 0003. But I failed to “git am” it, maybe need a rebase. So I manually applied the change to my local.

The change looks good to me. And the new TAP test also passed in my side. I think we can push this patch separately.

Best regards,
