Yes, but with this offensive approach it seems the current level of
warnings could be too alarming. Btw., because of a design flaw in my
current patch this _fix variable, which should be logically per trie/
table, can be reset by changes of other tables now, but I think it
all could be fine tuned more in the future. Of course if there are
people interested in testing/reporting this more.
