To explain that a bit more:

1. The reason I had to write 27 patches instead of just one is that such 
a function didn't exist. Therefor I've implemented one.

2. I was kind to write 27 patches to fix that silly bug.

3. I'm no fool and I will NOT write n * 21 patches in order to brutforce 
some maintainers prefered style.
