I'm setting this to Waiting On Author for a new patch, and I also agree with Robert that the test can be simpler and can go in the other order.

Like Michael said above, this patch no longer applies and have some whitespace
issues. The conflicts in applying are quite trivial though, so it should be
easy to create a new version. Do you plan to work on this during this
Commitfest so we can move this patch forward?
