Sorry, is this to improve the topic that has already last Monday?

If so, it is way too late to update with a replacement patch, like
this.  Instead, please send in a follow-up patch on top of what has
already been merged.

The description above seems to be identical to what was in the
previous round, but the patch seems to use a lot more code, so
such a follow-up patch would have plenty to explain how the new
strategy improves over the previous one.

Thanks.
