OK. Can we do that in another patch? Because I feel this would make the code a little bit more complex. Let's keep this patch as only a simple clean-up.
Especially without that, I'm not sure this and the follow-on patch add much value. Minor code cleanups complicate backports of fixes.
To me this is necessary, because I feel hard to do any development on un-cleaned-up code. I really don't know how to add my code without these clean-ups, and even if I managed to do that, I would not be happy with my code.
