 THANK YOU for your extra-rapid response, which is very clear and make very
 much sense.  I should have suspected it would have been taken care of, but,
 in the past, I've been encouraged to submit a pr if I don't with a little
 looking around see that the issue has been solved.
 
 Thanks again!
 
 (Also, I appreciate your volunteering for the project.  Sometimes
 volunteers don't know just how much we "in the field" appreciate all of
 your work.  I certainly appreciate it!)
 
 -Mike
