Okay, you asked for it.  I tried to be gentle.

I see _no_ value in your changes, and the diffstat as a _very_ real 
downside.

If the code would become clearer with your patch, I would not mind.  But I 
find that the result is not more readable than the original.

As part of a parse-optification, I would not mind.  But before that, no.

Ciao,
