That sounds right.

I guess it would :-) Thanks for the better wording. I actually thought
of asking for a better wording for the test message while sending the
patch but somehow forgot to mention it. It seems I've got better
wordings, regardless.
I'll send a v2 with the correction. I'm still open to an alternative
test description in case that make things even more clearer :-)
Thanks,
Sivaraam

Sivaraam?
You possibly might have noticed that my signature recently changed from
'Kaartic' to 'Sivaraam' both of which are parts of my name. I find the
new signature to be better for several reasons one of which is that the
former signature has a lot of ambiguities in the place I live as it is a
common name (NOTE: it's not a common spelling, just a common name). So,
I switched signatures before it's too late.
That said, I won't mind you calling me 'Kaartic' if you like it [of
course ;-)]. You can always call me using either of the names.
KIND NOTE TO THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER:
As I'm not a native English speaker myself, there might be mistaeks in
my usage of English. I apologise for any mistakes that I make.
It would be "helpful" if you take the time to point out the mistakes.
It would be "super helpful" if you could provide suggestions about how
to correct those mistakes.
Thanks in advance!
