Patches like this are not adding any real value. While aiming for a
better readable code is a nobel goal I would recommend adding clean ups
like this one to other changes/patches that are improving the code
(either fixing existing bugs or making the overall code much better).
Thanks for trying and keep looking for something that might improve the
code.
