You are only moving code here but while at it, mind fixing that typo?

I think I didn't understand what you mean here.
Sure I will fix the typo and sorry about it.
Aside from that anything wrong with the 2 new function or there is a
better fix that I can't think of.

"salve" is "hello" in Italian, and even though that is a greeting,
surely that is not what was meant, but rather "slave". So even though
that is less positive, it is at least a technical term with a clear
meaning, so I think Florian's request was to replace "salve" with
"slave" while you are moving the code anyway.
