I do not much like splitting out functionality like this,
myself - there's little to no docs and one can't figure out
whether this code does what it is  supposed to do without
reading the next patch.

I would just squash this with that one.

If you are splitting functionality along some API lines,
you need detailed docs so one can review implementation
separately from use.
