Sure, though Hartmut=E2=80=99s solution looked even simpler.

BTW, Ricardo has posted a patch on this topic here:

  https://bugs.gnu.org/29951

We could use it here (it won=E2=80=99t be merged until the next =E2=80=98co=
re-updates=E2=80=99
cycle), but if there=E2=80=99s a simpler solution, we should probably go for
that.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
