True. It is all a bit unfortunate for such a small change to get
bogged down like this. I specifically asked about the patch proposed
by Christian and implemented by Benjamin (in msg63168) but no one
bothered to reply. Please look at my patch and see if you can apply
it. In fact, I even submitted it when Guido asked for some patches to
test codereview tool initially. It is at
http://codereview.appspot.com/841/show.
