Rewritten as:

        /* First check the user part.  In a naive implementation we
           would check the host part first, then the user.  However,
           if we check the user first and reject the entry we will
           have saved doing any host lookups to normalize the comparison
           and that likely saves several DNS queries.  Therefore we
           check the user first.  */

Fixed.

Given your review and no objections, and the testing we've done
on x86_64, i686, aarch64, s390, s390x, ppc64, and ppc64le I'm
considering this OK.

Checked in.

Cheers,
Carlos.
