I don't think this is a fair comparison, or makes sense at all.  The cause
of the bug in master is a cut-and-paste typo:

while here the problem is due to a half-baked change in this series.

Since I redid the same change in my properties series, and I did it
correctly, the only sensible solution is to rebase these patches on
that one.

Please don't.  I have barely started reviewing this series and I have
quite a few questions, though some may be trivial.  In the meanwhile,
I'll separate the early pieces of my series and rebase this one on top.
