My only concern right now is that, since we're in the middle of 2.6.x, we not
break semantics of such a core routine like this one.
Although I'm willing to accept that certain cases are just rediculious and not worth
worrying about, just try your best to create a version of the patch
that matches current behavior as best as possible and we'll work from
that.
