Then pls say so in the commit log.
Look I don't have anything for or against this patch.
I do however want to establish that if something is billed as
an "optimization" it has to come with numbers (even if
it's as simple as "size" run on the object file).
If it's just cleaner/simpler, say so.
I'll wait for an ack from Paolo/Stefan, anyway.
