But otherwise ok.
Sorry about the belated response; this fell off my radar for some reason. I looked at updating it to support the cases you suggest, but I wasn't happy with issuing the fix-it hint for them, so I've gone with the patch as-is. Committed to trunk as r263298 (after rebasing and re-testing) Thanks Dave
