Hi Kristoffer,

Thanks for the review suggestions! I'll address them in the next version.

Thanks for the tip. I split the changes into separate commits to ease review,
 as Phillip suggested in https://lore.kernel.org/git/d4c9f082-52be-48d9-b817-fcb8a72e1bd7@gmail.com/.

It seems I may have overdone it? If so, I'll try for a better balance in the next version.
