Aleksei, you really shouldn't be annoyed. My earlier patch was shown to be inferior to David Bevan's, and I was obliged to accept the fact. The only possible criteria are objective ones: does it work? is it faster? is it simpler? I believe David has shown using objective arguments that the patch should not be included. That's not a run-around. It is a courteous consideration of your suggestion, and you should be grateful for it.
Also, you don't help your case at all by remarks like "I think I can get though to this guy..." and "It's only you and me who understand these conditions." which are at best patronising and at worst impolite.

I was proposing a minor benign improvement. I am touching the water so to speak. What's the big deal? Way to attract developers, freetypers!
