I take the above to mean consent to modify Subject method. Expect
this to be committed when my general code review is completed. If
the project prefers incremental commits over batch commits, please
make that known.

The principle set forth is sound and IMO worth repeating in similar
cases. Shall the project consent to a general application or is a
prior case by case review preferred?

I agree with your general statement whoever it side steps the
question on what we shall collectively do.  Do you consent or
dissent from the proposed "n = " assignment addition.  Which
ever you choose shall become general policy for the duration
of this release cycle.
