hum, from the discussion we had on v3  I expected more smaller patches
with easy changes, so the change is more transparent and easy to review

as I said before this part really makes me worried and needs to be as clear
as possible.. please introdce the new function first and replace the factored
places separately, also more verbose changelog would help ;-)

thanks,
jirka
