Yeah, I felt that it may come in handy, hence the extern
declaration. However, if you feel that it has outlived its
usefulness, then maybe you could remove it.

Well, it wasn't really a patch; I had anticipated that you
would squash the hunks into the relevant commits (hence the
comment). Yes, it is generally not a good idea to re-wind
a published branch to make such changes, but that kinda
depends on how many people will be affected ...

However, if you would rather not rewind the branch and want to
apply the 'patch' on top, then that is fine by me as well, so:
