seems like excess verbosity. there are much more important things that
are not reported.

i would eliminate that, and instead populate the card table properly.
that's a bit more code, but it's more uniform, and the resulting binary
is even a tiny bit smaller.

also, i would squash the patches, as i see no point in having them
separate, given their size.
