Fun. :)

I haven't looked at the patches closely.  My only immediate thoughts
are:

 - It would be nice to add a test under t/, so we can be sure without
   manually testing it that this new feature doesn't break in the
   future.  See t/README if interested.  I guess it would be t7613.

 - Since the first patch isn't useful without or logically separate
   from the second, this would probably be easier to read as a single
   patch.

Thanks for your work, and hope that helps.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
