Not tested?  Doesn't work properly.

Not tested?  Still fails.

Not done.
There's still a variable name starting with "not_".
Use "match", as I suggested.

Indentation is still irregular (spaces vs TABs).
Also, please don't add trailing blanks.
They cause "make syntax-check" to fail.

Install git, run the "git clone..." command above, and follow the

If you can submit a perfect patch that I can apply with next
