You've shot down quite a few patches of mine (usually assertions) which
I've used for similar, 'this helped me track down an issue' purposes.

In any case, the r-b on the other one is because you're restructuring
the code you want to fix, before you fix it. That is fine. As I said,
if you want to put this as a beautifier, I don't think it belongs in
the series.
