I am not familiar with that code and can’t answer that question off the top of 
my head.

The first patch does pass the unit test.   The second patch is not needed to 
pass the test, so I will not be squashing them together.

I squashed the documentation into the first patch.

On a side note, I am running out of time for contributing these patches back to 
the project.   I am spending more time responding to requests to re-order and 
change commit messages etc.. than I am changing the code (I am learning and 
will get it correct one day).   I understand that you want your repository 
history to be as correct as possible and am grateful that you care enough to 
try and help someone get up to speed.    I need to come to some kind of 
compromise here.   If you want these changes I am happy to contribute them, but 
I don’t have time to spend hours re-working things over and over.

If that means it would be better to just contribute patches through email or 
some other format of code exchange I am happy to do that.    If you would like 
me to just file bug/feature requests, I can do that as well.     If you don’t 
want the changes (at least as I am able to provide them) then I can go back to 
maintaining my own fork of the sources.

I’m not trying to complain or avoid meeting your standards, I’m just having to 
deal with time priorities that are not going to allow me to keep quibbling over 
these details.
