I don't have one off the top of my head; it's just that the original
form seemed like a perfectly valid sentence to me, so no change was
needed. It's not that the change itself would introduce problems
(although ending a sentence inside another sentence is variably ugly
IMO, but that can be avoided as I indicated), but that I didn't see
anything wrong with the original.

Eh. That's uninformative, and unhelpful. I did just wake up, but I don't
think I'll be able to do too much better even after some time exercising
the mental joints...
