Thanks, I implemented your suggestion as a new feature of the verifier,
and it works.

I'm ready to respin the series, I've split my new helpers, but splitting
the existing helpers won't be part of resubmission, because it is out of
scope of changes I intended to push. It can be added later as an
improvement, though.
