Hi There is a lot in what you say. In the beginning I send in a remark to the maintainer. It happened absolutely nothing. When I send out a patch that code is not used, then this code will be reviewed. Which is the main purpose! However, agree that this was perhaps an unusually clear solution. I submit such a patch now.
