I just noticed my annotation got lost when I sent the patch. I originally
meant to ask Josh to double-check whether it should be 'false' or 'true'
here, or if we maybe need a larger change.
Josh, could you take a look? Unfortunately I did not really understand
your original commit, so I don't know what the safe choice is here
in those cases in which 'partial' is uninitialized.
