The patch made me wonder why this new feature had to be implemented in the
first place and had me look up the message the patch was an follow-up to.
For somebody who would not recall the original request-for-feature (that
includes you 6 months from now), it would have been easier to understand
the context if the commit message said what the intended purpose of this
(i.e. "have it read by an IDE").
