I found that out after sending the initial patch. Thanks for pointing out!

I think before spending more time on discussing and implementing new
(hopefully better) heuristics, I'd want to step back and try to be a bit more
systematic, i.e. I'll want to collect lots of test cases in different languages
and use cases. A mini test suite, maybe?

I think I'll include these examples in there, too.
