Please try to always have some commit log to explain what's going on in 
the commit. It is useful if one does `git log` without `-p`/`--patch` or 
if additional "metadata"/context to the code is important. E.g. here, 
you could have said that you were confused by the use of the underscore 
instead of the colon so you are now making this explicit.

I don't think it's warranted to send a v2 just for that, just think 
about it for your next contribution!
