Yeah, I noticed the `git blame` last night when writing the patch that you had originally wrote the code around 2017,
andthat the duplication was introduced in a patch committed by others around 2018.  I was hoping that you, as the
originalauthor, or somebody involved in the 2018 patch, might have a deeper understanding of what's being done and
volunteerto clean up the comments.
