Is that ping for me?

It's a significant patch so I'd rather have a little review before
pushing, waiting for that.

Well, not really waiting. I did some tests too and found some not so
desirable side effects that I hadn't fully fixed when RL decided to
rob me of most of my free time, so I haven't pushed it yet to prevent
even more serious regressions, but still I'd rather not push without
some form of review.

So, ccing Rostislav in case he just missed the original patch (he's
the most likely to review anyway)
