English is not my mother tongue so I very often make mistakes.
Sorry about that.

Anyway my prefered online dictionary finds it:

Yes, it would be better.

I used "factorise" because as a french native speaker, I am always tempted 
to use word that sound the same as their french translation.

By the way I realised that the "bisect_write" function is still 
missing 'nolog="$3"', so I will send an updated patch.

Thanks,
Christian.
