Good. I wanted those the other day :-), but then I saw they weren't in
the page yet!

Yes, I think that's a good approach.

Although the patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/20200928151646.20271-1-colomar.6.4.3@gmail.com/
doesn't apply (can you send me a revision please), and even though
these patches employ the "Include/Alternatively" form, I've applied
them. (Everything is now pushed.)

Thanks,

Michael
