I'm glad that you are seeing a wider applicability to this change :) Applying 
this patch is up to those that have the power to commit... Seeing that there 
is a 0.10.9 release eminent it may be wise to wait so as to not disrupt this 
process.

Can anyone fore see any potential problems that could be caused by this 
change?
