I have not tested this in any detail...

Looks correct, although I wonder if we're at the point where it would be
better to present this info as a table.

This & a few other things in this series take the code beyond 79

This whole thing should be split into a static function. It's the same
code copy/pasted 4x times just with a differnet value for "var", the
strbuf variable & IDENT_*_GIVEN.
