I presume you mean the "main" patch for this one is 8/9.  I was trying
to find a way to break up that large patch, but this is pretty small
so...sure I'll squash it in.

What are you referring to as the "main" patch for 5/9, though?  It
only seems related to 6/9 and 7/9 to me, but I very deliberately split
those patches off and don't want to confuse them with unrelated
changes.  I disagree with combining 5/9 with either of those.
