Simplification of the constellation of hoops would be welcome too.  :|

Well, the patch is for foreigners only, so that's fine.  :>

(I thought to have heard the glibc community had become more welcoming.
It don't look like it to me.  You could take an example from the likes
of Jim Meyering and Karel Zak.  If a patch is not entirely as they would
like it to be, they tweak it, check it in, done.  Hooray!  And only
afterwards they make a little comment about how to do it better next
time.  Hat off to them.)
