Please resubmit this change in the proper format (as described by Eric
Sunshine WRT another one of your patches).  Also please remember to
distinguish between information that should go in the commit log
message, which will be stored permanently to the repository and help
future developers understand your change, vs. side notes meant only for
the mailing list.  For example, for the log message, stuff like:

    OPTION_CMDMODE should be used when ... So change the mode to
    OPTION_CMDMODE so that ...

vs. for the mailing list discussion:

    When I was reading code yesterday ...

The former goes above the "---" line and the latter goes directly below it.

BTW, none of my comments should be taken to indicate whether the commit
itself makes sense or not.  I haven't checked that far.

Michael
