Well, given that the justification you gave had the obvious flaw -- which 
you even pointed out -- that non-builtins are _still_ affected, i.e. that 
you leave that bug unfixed (but your description purports that you want to 
fix that bug), it would have been wiser to give the alternative 
justification, which makes the commit obviously correct.

Ciao,
