In my case it meant, like, -0.5. I don't really like adding lots of
utility functions like this to the default install, because I'm not
sure how widely they get used and it gradually increases the size of
the code, system catalogs, etc. But I also don't want to block
genuinely useful things. So basically, I'm not excited about this
patch, but I don't want to fight about it either.
