Would you please clarify what do you mean with "it"? What exactly 
should exist? By "it", do you mean the original code, or the patch? Do 
you mean that the original code (in this section of the file) should 
remain as it was/is, without applying the relevant part of Martin's 
patch? Or instead, do you mean that the relevant section of the patch 
should remain, so the resulting code should be different than it has 
been for the last few years?

Please clarify, what exactly are you referring to with "as is"? Should 
the whole patch be applied? Or only the first part of the patch should 
be applied while the second part should be skipped, leaving the second 
section of the code as it used to be during the last few years?

After reverting the last commit 48e94f4fa... (the one with the wrong 
patch, the one that triggered Geert's question), perhaps there should 
be 2 separate commits applying the 2 sections of the last valid patch 
separately?
