Please don't. That thing is too ugly to exist. It also looks
completely and utterly buggy. There's no way I'm taking it. If
switch-names is suddenly conditional, what the f*ck happens to the
name hash which is unconditionally done with a swap() right
afterwards.

There's no way that patch is correct.
