I looked over Nick's proposed patch again and really don't understand
your concrete objection to this particular patch. It seems to me to
make the code/comments more clear. Nick already did the work, the
result looks good (imho). So I would personally just accept it as is
because I cannot think of better wording myself.

Cheers,

Mark
