What I'm saying that if I fix a bug, the first version of the fix
would probably look something like this is right now. They I think
how to write it right. We don't want fixes that just happen to work.
Right now I'm worried to take this in since I'm not confident that
I haven't some possible corner case, or might still have gotten
something just plain wrong.
