I agree about the efficiency; that bothered me when I wrote the patch,
but figured the lack of efficiency wouldn't be noticeable.

OTOH, it still bothers me; I'll write up a v2 patch that does something
much more like what you suggest.

Is it easier at this point for you to have a new patch that applies on
top of my previous patch, or a wholesale replacement for it?  Or is
what's done done and that's the end of it for something this minor?

Thanks to you both for your time and work,
