It took me fairly long to understand why we didn't catch that when we
introduced the 'offset check', which indicates that this function is
just getting too long to read.
I don't absolutely mind the fix below, but it does pile on to the
complexity.
Here's an alternative approach (untested, of course), but it slightly
limits the functionality we have today, in favor of simplicitly. (Also
not sure if it's too large for cc'ing stable).
Thanks,
Christoffer
