Oh my, you're right, I apologize, I misremembered.  When I wrote "before
I saw your patch" yesterday, I meant the formal, already-tested patch
submission, that I recall seeing while I tested the patchlet I'd posted.
I forgot you had included that patch also in the initial report, but I
see it there too.

I learned that tcl trick from you indeed, and that much I remember
clearly: I've long sought but failed to find a way to do that.

Alas, for some reason, I had a misrecollection that you had merely
recommended using that trick, instead of including an actual patch, in
the report I claimed to have based the patch on.  I suppose I may have
drawn that wrong conclusion from my having set out to write a patch
myself, instead of recommending the approval of yours.  That, in turn,
was presumably because there was an additional issue that needed fixing,
and that you had asked me to look into.  Anyhow, it's probably a safe
bet that I based our patch on yours indeed, but I wouldn't be able to
confirm or deny it either way: those details have unfortunately faded
away from my memory.

Anyway, it was based on the misrecollection that I stated "before even
seeing your patch", and I acknowledge that I was wrong, and probably
also overthinking the whole issue ;-)

Please accept my embarrassed apologies.  I think I had better memory
when I was younger, but I'm not really sure, I can't recall ;-D
