Thanks. After seeing 'seen' with this patch at its tip pass the tests [*1*], I prepared a merge of this change into the tip of 'next' and tentatively updated 'seen' with it. The test is still running [*2*], but the problematic part in the macOS build has already passed, so I am planning to fast-track this change down to 'next', 'master' and eventually down to 'maint' to keep the CI going to help other platforms catch more interesting problems. Help from those who are more familiar with macOS and homebrew is still appreciated, though.
