Applied, thanks.

I had to adjust a json dump, this diff is not so difficult:

I had to adjust a different much larger dump though, and it feels a
bit like searching the needle in the stack in the diff (if a bug ever
shows up in this path). Usability improvement via python script
similar to what tests/py does would be really great to have.

Thanks.
