I might be misinterpreting Greg's response; I *think* he
agrees with my suggestion.

In any case, please do *not* send v2 with the purpose of
including my suggestion.

If you send a v2, keep it focused on this original patch.
You can then implement the other suggestion as a follow-on
patch (or series).
