It is quite ugly, and I have thought about rewriting it.

But to be quite honest, I have become very discouraged over the last two weeks about submitting patches. What seems at first to be a simple change has required multiple revisions over frankly what feels to me like nit-picking.

It goes like this:
Me: Notice wart
Me: Cut wart off (i.e. submit patch)
Reviewer: Sorry, you didn't cut that wart off to my standards, unless
you can do it better, I'd rather have the wart.

I dunno, maybe I'm too sensitive and don't have the fortitude for contributing to git.

Or maybe I'm just venting on a Friday.
