Right, this one:

It is fine. Just that instead of rewriting we could have also said 
something along the lines of "Okay lets go with your version after all, 
just please tweak this or that". Which in my experience would have been 
more typical.

At the end of the day the very fact a neater solution is going in is the 
main thing for me. Authorship is not that important, only that the way 
of working I follow, both as a maintainer and a colleague, aspires to be 
more like what I described in the previous paragraph.

I am not sure I can review this version though. It feels it would be too 
much like reviewing my own code so wouldn't carry the fully weight of 
review. Technically I probably could, but in reality someone else should 
probably better do it.
