I personally consider the original long "for (...)" lines slightly
better (or rather less bad) than your replacement.  Mixing cleanups
with bugfixes is often a bad idea.

Another reason is that I still cannot see the bugfix among all the
changes. *scratches head*  Ah, here it is.  *scratches some more*  And
it even appears to be correct.

Can you resend as two patches?
