Is it? If it is not too much to ask, I'd prefer to have code that does not surprise people, and "the usual way" you mentioned is what readers around here expect to see. I didn't check and think about the patch in quetion, and especially the existing code that the patch needs to touch, too deeply, so if it is too convoluted already that it would be a lot of work to make it work in "the usual way", it may be OK, but otherwise, the solution may not be fine. Thanks.
