Oh come on! Even if that's true (which I doubt), if we all waste 5
minutes of Jeff's time a day, where will that leave us?
It isn't obvious to me -- who's fault any bug or lack of documentation
there presumably is -- that the patch is the right thing, but I
haven't had a chance to take a proper look yet. I'm sorry to take
_any_ of Jeff's time as a result.
The last such change (without explanation AFAIR) appeared not to be
appropriate and I made a different one, approved by Craig. To
convince us that was wrong will take more than proof by assertion.
