Probably I spent a bit too much time with that code, so now yours
suggestion looks to me like an unnecessary step. But I will try and see
how it goes, at least it should be possible to break down the patch 1 a
bit more, hopefully it will help to better understand what's going on in
the further patches if you're not familiar or don't remember how it all
works.
