No, but I can't split those changes anymore logically. The switch-case handles
the differentiation based on the sense_key and as such cannot be broken down
anymore without doing some weird stuff and possibly introducing more bugs and
breaking bisectability. Completely hypothetically: wouldn't a before-after
juxtaposition of the change make reviewing more easier, for example you
apply the patch on a different branch and compare the before and the after
version?
