Great! Many thanks to both of you for making those changes and thanks
Alvaro for pushing.

Makes sense. We've had other objects previously that the comments were
lost sometimes, and I don't think they were noticed too quickly, so
perhaps this is an unlikely case that will bother too many people.

I saw that. Thanks for fixing. The only weird thing I see in the
changes is that the comment here claims it makes a copy, but it does
not.
