It means we should use a test based on that with the quoting fixes on top of this series and progress them together if possible. I think the quoting patch I just sent is good now so hopefully there wont be any issue with it holding up your fixes. > Anyhow, thanks for reading over the series.

My "sense of priority" was informed by the hope that the quoting patch wouldn't hold things up (let's hope I was right about that!). Best Wishes Phillip
