"wanna" ? How about "want to"?
That makes me wanna stop reading right there... :)

Does this really need wrapper? The compiler may help but it doesn't seem to
but you're doing a function call and passing in prev_class just to do a
simple check. I guess it's not really a fast path. Just seemed like overkill.
I guess I did read past the commit message ...
