Sorry it took that long. We have always said 'just keep nagging', and you did. Granted, we both would have been better off it it happened sooner rather than later, but later is better than not at all. Not that when we go and look at what you did, we also had to address set (your patch was for get), and also needed to code unit tests. That kind of effort takes a little more time than simply reviewing a patch and committing it.
I look forward to your next contribution.
