Hi Santiago,
Thank you for the patch.
I have converted that into a patch for you, writing the
commit log message and using the "From:" name and
email in the git commit Author: field. I'll wait to hear from
you, in case you'd prefer I use a different name or email.
Also, I moved each added line up one, to precede the
incidental note about equivalence to another option.
