Thank. I've taken the first 4 onto for-next, which is still targeted
for 5.20, as they're fixes. I'm not opposed to taking the documentation
patch for this cycle as well, it just needs some going-over as the
wording looks very odd (or at least it does to me right now, maybe I'm
just still half asleep). Patch 5 is a new feature, and given that it's
being spun during the merge window it's too late.
