Comment:

 (I deleted the `.swp` file).

 I think this patch looks fine but to be safe I would prefer it if we could
 get a code review from Sergei and/or Peter.

 @cjwatson, thanks for the great patch as usual, and if you don't mind, in
 the future please at least set these tickets to `patch` status so we don't
 lose them! (preferably if they could go through Phabricator, we'll also be
 more attentive and review them in short order).
