We use this in production internally, so I'll keep collecting patches and
may ask for pulls from time to time.

You're welcome. It could be github crappery, however, these were
copy-pasted and cleaned up in various ways such that they merge into
3.17-rc1 and then merge forward into 4.1.15 which we build against---so
who knows about formatting, whitspace, and other minor issues. I'm just
glad they are on their way to 4.5 with stable@ Cc's!

BTW, can someone suggest an alternate git host with less crappery?
