Hi Mariusz,

Sorry for the late response, I am currently traveling so there have been some delays.

I am fine with the principle of this patch, but I have a few nits:

You initialize array_only_flags here.

... and again here.

Could we try and avoid that obfuscated approach and simply do

	if (!is_container)
		array_only_flags |= GET_MISMATCH

That would avoid the double initialization and is a lot more readable.

Second issue, you are moving to global initialization for a number of variables. That is pretty much always bad as it hides things - please avoid that unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks,
Jes
