Please apply these tiny, 4-month-old patches.

[Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>]

Strictly speaking, these patches streamline the code at both 
compile-time and run-time, and seem to face no technical
objection of note.

The strongest objection was a dubious *potential* refactoring of
similar code, a refactoring which is clearly vaporware, and which
I myself would have tried to complete if only this initial foray
had been applied.

If this is considered "new" code (it isn't) and if this email is
received outside of an appropriate merge window, then save this
email for later consideration---this isn't a real-time conversation;
this is email, so it doesn't matter when you receive it.

Sincerely,
Michael Witten
