Hello, Googling around, I didn't find any extensions that would break from this change. Even if there are any, this change will simplify the relevant callsites. It also aligns the interface nicely with get_qual_for_hash, get_qual_for_list and get_qual_for_range.
Marking this as ready for committer. It can be committed when the branch is cut for 15. Regards, Soumyadeep (VMware)
