The use of the term "state" for this seems to me a bit confusing as users may think that it is related with "stateful filtering". Please, develop the idea a bit more. I have kept back patches 8/14 to 13/14 until we end discussing this. > This patch also fixes a bug in definition of seq_global_ce macro. Please, split this into two patches next time as they are not related. -- "Los honestos son inadaptados sociales" -- Les Luthiers
