People have different ideas of what is a mess. You think it's a mess, I don't. Why should I clean it up? Of course, you as a maintainer have all the right to reject my patches because they introduce more "mess", and if I want the patch in, I am forced to do what you say, but it just so happens that I don't care if this goes in or not, so I have the right to don't do anything; it's my own free time. > And I am fully aware that it may not be your itch---otherwise I wouldn't > have asked.

The only reason I sent these patches was, as I said, to simplify the discussion about what would make 'alias gf' work, I did not, and I do not intent to propose these patches for inclusion (as I know the pain (for me) that would entail). If you would rather have me send no patches at all rather than to show what I have (in fact I cleaned them quite a lot) and stop there, I can do that; less work for me. To be honest, I don't see what's the problem in sending partial stuff; in a collaborative effort somebody else that actually has this itch would pick these and finish the job; nothing wrong with that. Why should it be me who finish the job? And why am I problematic if I don't want to? As I said, I only care about the first patch.
