Is this really needed? For the large majority of the stable patches,
specifically enumerating this isn't a big deal, it's a tiny patch, and
if you think I'll remember to tell you which specific clause you didn't
follow, then you think I have more spare time than I really do.

Sorry, but no, I don't think this patch is ok, especially that S15
clause, nice try :)
