You are the second person in the past few days to talk about rejection after my comments. I'll try to do better in the future, but if it was not clear, I thought the original is good enough for inclusion as-is.

My comments were about potential improvements on top of what was presented, and I say "potential" not in the sense that yours is inferior than the ideal because it lacks such improvements, but in the sense that the suggested line of thought might not be even an improvement (iow, I do not mean "the code your patch brings is has potential to improve and not good enough as it stands", but "I think we might also want to do these on top of it, but I may well have overlooked downsides in my suggestion hence I am bringing it up for discussion").
