If you prefer your current layout, then pls keep it. Bikeshed = personal
style nit, feel free to ignore if you like stuff differently. In the end
it's your driver, not mine, and I can easily navigate the current code
(with a few extra jumps).

You can leave things as-is if you prefer, just for me it looked a bit
confusion and unecessarily complex.
