The patch made me wonder why this new feature had to be implemented in the first place and had me look up the message the patch was an follow-up to. For somebody who would not recall the original request-for-feature (that includes you 6 months from now), it would have been easier to understand the context if the commit message said what the intended purpose of this (i.e. "have it read by an IDE").
