It's not that obvious to me. If you add the stub, the patch that reorders operands is not necessary. If you reorder operands, the stub is not necessary. The patch that does (X || 1) -> (1 || X) is unnecessary as a microoptimization, since this code basically runs once at startup. The code is also a little bit less clear with the reordered operands, but perhaps that's just me because I wrote the code that way. (Splitting the if in two would also make sense, and would not affect clarity). Why should both be applied?
