You are right this isn't perfect. I'd need to do some performance tests so
see how much slower the more correct code is. To be perfectly honest, I can
live with the current implementation and don't feel the urge to scratch
this particular itch.
Of course, that shoudn't stop anyone else who fancies taking a look at
this. Patches that improve the implementation without adding much (actually
any in this case) overhead welcome.
