Hrm. As this is probably useful for older maintenance track, I would have
preferred not to see the first one that touches sequencer.c that did not
exist in the 1.7.7.x maintenance track, as the change is purely "cosmetic"
and does not have anything to do with fixing the over-agressive merge.

I considered that, but assumed this was not a maint fix, but rather a
new "feature" to improve the heuristics.

Ok. Perhaps I over-reacted to the issue, which sounded like a grave
mismerge that can go unnoticed.
