So, for the second attempt by Elijah, Dscho said it is good while you noticed a problem with ff, to which Dscho agreed is a better approach, and you extended it which brings us here. I'll leave the thread hanging here while I pick other leftover bits for 2.18 final and then will come back. Hopefully by that time I'll find the final version of the patch to conclude this topic that I can apply on top of 2.18.0 ;-) Thanks.
