What branch was this against? The first patch scared me, since making
global changes to rename a constant is very likely to cause all sorts
of patch conflicts, especially when I have to juggle patches across
the maint and next branches. So that's why I put it off.
I know there are some real bug fixes here, and it's helpful it those
come *first*, and make the minimal changes necessary, so I can apply
it to the maint branch and not have to worry about potential merge
conflicts.
In general, for global renames/cleanups, especially ones that don't
actually fix any bugs, and which are there mostly for aesthetic
reasons, I'd much prefer to hold off making them until after 1.43.0 is
released, and after I've a abandoned making any further releases
(except for truely catastrophic bugs) on the 1.42.x branch.
Cheers,
- Ted
