I wasn't disagreeing with Heikki, I was trying to show that while
Aleksander's patch may be useless and perhaps harmful if committed, it
is not useless in a larger perspective as it has made people look into
an issue.
And I did that simply because I have more changes of that kind that may
end up being deemed as useless for committing, but I want to share them
with -hackers anyway.
