It wasn't the English I was correcting. That was fine, but just saying
the object could be "a plain variable" wasn't giving any justification
for the change and, to me, even implied that rel_entry was locally
scoped. So, when I first skimmed the patch and saw that it was getting
appended to a list, I almost stated the patch was wrong. It was clear
after looking closer, but it could have been clear the first time
through if the commit message had better guided me.
Thanks,
