To explain that a bit more:
1. The reason I had to write 27 patches instead of just one is that such a function didn't exist. Therefor I've implemented one.
2. I was kind to write 27 patches to fix that silly bug.
3. I'm no fool and I will NOT write n * 21 patches in order to brutforce some maintainers prefered style.
