I hadn't, so I checked out master aa59d38c59 and applied my patch on top
of it. I then ran "make check" and waited for a bit. There appears to be
only two tests failing in test/lisp/time-stamp-tests.el
('time-stamp-format-day-of-week' and
'time-stamp-format-string-width'). Both seem to be unrelated to my
change; maybe it's my system's strange combination of
Spanish/English/German locale-related configurations (I'm attaching the
log just in case). All other test files were run without problems.
