Hi,

Sorry for late reply because I just found this thread before the long 
vacation so I didn't have much time to deal with it.

Since 6.1 is closing now. Let's reorganize everything and queue it up 
for -next for 6.2

This way looks good to me.

How about making a set for this,  to make everything more clear:

1. Move this out of line

2. Apply the feature, test with gcc & clang

3. Other cleaning, or merge with 2 if the cleaning is tiny.

I'll send another version for this, rebased to 6.1-rc1

Thanks for your time!


Best,

Chen
