That change is quite interesting as I did not understand it at first sight as well. See https://public-inbox.org/git/20171016135827.gc12...@book.hvoigt.net/ and the follow ups, specifically https://public-inbox.org/git/20171019181109.27792-2-sbel...@google.com/ that tries to clean up the code, but was ultimately dropped.
