The longer name is there no matter what we do...  uphill battle, I'd
rather not fight another one :-)

But we can easily use the OPTION_MASK things directly there.

And/or that, yes.

Can you please make a new patch series that just does everything?  This
is so much easier to handle for everyone, even you yourself :-)

First some small preparatory patches; then the long *boring* patches
that are the meat of the matter, but are completely mechanical
(formatting notwithstanding), so are easy to review; and then some more
small patches to do final cleanup.

So each patch will be easy to write, write a commit message for, write a
changelog for, and easy to review as well.  Long patches are no problem
at all if they are completely boring!
