I guess I stopped reading at ", and" for some reason, sorry.

It's fine to keep it in this patch.

right.  I was a bit confued by reading this code in the C version, but
on the other hand, this code is the kind of code you shouldn't try to
think you can easily understand, but you really have to know what you're
doing here, so perhaps I'm creating too much fuss for nothing.

ok, sounds great.
