Besides making the "base" parameter a pointer, I really do not have
strong preference, just make it not hurting eyes of a reader, that's all :)

imho in general, rather than answering 5 weeks later, it is more
productive to address whatever comments were made, add comments (in the
code or commit logs) why you are sticking to your initial approach,
rebase and repost the whole thing. Thanks,
