Yes. We seem to converge on this. At least my commit had one benefit:
we finally discussed that..:-) (I know you're probably busy as hell

IIRC, last fixes were made by Jeremy, but this is certainly somethign
interesting to discuss at SambaXP.

...pondered by Mathieu precisions about a branch based on 3.4, maybe.
