Me too, and I agree! This part of the code can be pretty obscure,
and I know that there are some cases that we don't cover. Until we
hit real-life cases that we don't cover yet, I think that it allowed
us to keep the implementation a little simpler. That's just a guess
as I have only contributed to the code, not really written it.

I skipped the first few emails but, I'll catch up. I don't mind
acting as a second pair of eyes.
