I didn't try either but I think you are right.  And I agree we should say
we rely on 5.6 or newer.

If we don't change it we need to rely on 5.8 or newer as my initial patch
suggested.

I think it should be as simple as Jeff's patch, and I think it is
moderately preferable to make sure the core part runs with earlier version
than punting.

I however do not have 5.6 (or 5.6.1) installation handy, so I cannot test
to make sure that Jeff's patch is the only necessary fix to the "add -i".
