You've missed the point. Andrei made a proposal for eliminating

which completely ignores his proposal, and which violates both.
The comment about the auto-generated code raises an aspect which hadn't

I'm having a hard time following this discussion, but where is auto
generated code an issue under this patch versus Andrei's proposal versus
what we have now? And how does this patch change more code than Andrei's
proposal would?
I'm assuming this patch is modified to allow
case 1:
case 2:
