Yeah, that looks right to me. I'm inclined to commit your patch with
some changes to wording of the comments. I'm also inclined not to
back-patch, since we don't know that this breaks anything for existing

If anyone doesn't want this committed or does want it back-patched,
please speak up.

Thanks,
