I will admit I'm a little hesitant here, for being an ABI change (even
if to the better), but I guess I'll still include it.

Reading its description again, this was done merely for consistency. It
doesn't read as if it fixed anything.

While the former of these two clearly is a bug fix, the latter looks to
be more like functionality addition. IOW I'm not convinced here.

These I really merely didn't want to take right away. Now that they've
been there for a month, I'll include them.
