Comment (by int-e):

 Replying to [comment:2 thomie]:
 * I prepared the patch before writing the ticket, but I've updated the
 commit message to include the Trac number and a reference to the original
 patch (from 2011).
 * The patch only updates comments (note that it is changing a latex style
 .lhs file), so there's nothing to test.
 * "approximately" - in reality, the code has to extract the result of the
 call, and the details of that depend on whether LLVM is used or not, and
 I'm not sure I understand all of them. Since the emphasis of the comment
 is the creation of adjustors, I think it's ok to gloss over that.
