Right, I'd already done the same analysis myself with looking for uses
myself (though I didn't go looking for how to trigger). Nick, please do
look at the analysis Geert provided above - it is indeed exactly the
sort of thing that people would want to see, just saying what's in the
diff isn't enough especially given the well advertised quality problems
with your submissions. You really need to explain why the change you're
making is a good idea.
I've applied the change.
