from the sources ...(which is unusual, but I agree that that is
an important exercise .. if only to implicitly "prove" that
Rstudio is truly open source...)

I had not ported that change to R-patched because I had not been
100% sure that there were no "bad" implications -- so wanted to wait a
couple of days -- and then forgot... I am sorry.
Still your "reminder" comes very very late in the release
process for R 3.2.1. ... but as an exception, and because it
*is* so minimal (and has not caused any negative effects)
I have ported the change now to the 3.2.1 RC.
