I really must respond, because I /did/ discuss technical issues from the
start. Of course I could not ignore the stylistic side, because even a
technically perfect patch wouldn't be accepted if style wasn't correct.
It's true I didn't mention all the technical issues I raised in my first
response. That's because I simply didn't think of them. But I certainly
see the techincal side as being more important than the stylistic side;
if I didn't, I'd have made the final tweaks myself and committed the
patch by now.
