I would not think of looking at a patch to code I don't understand.
To try to read and understand such a patch would be doing it the hard
way, and not wise.  Instead I asked you to send me examples so I could
get that information the easy way.

The examples in your patch could have done it if you had send me those
examples separatrly.  It's far more helpful to send an example than to
say, "Look through the patch for some."

Thanks.  Now I understand what your extension would be.
