I'm sincerely happy that I found one more independent user of the feature, and I appreciate your done work and review comments, even downloading, applying and adjusting the changes took your time, and because I'm pretty sure you don't have much spare time I value it. Quite many times when I sent long non-trivial series in the past they were either deterrent for review and plainly ignored or expectedly caused too many review comments at once, that's why here in the cover letter I emphasized : >> In comparison to v1 and v2 this version does not have quite many >> important features, because now the goal is to initiate technical >> review of the simplest possible core change, the fat tail is put >> aside at the moment. I hope I managed to collect enough review comments (if Guenter adds a note to your/my comments to v3 4/6, that would be perfect), and I'll add your new changes and my cut-off changes to v4 pile.
