Maybe a little? Sorry, didn't realize that a fix for this already
existed... using max_index is probably a little bit better? I've
already pushed my version, but feel free to do yours as a fixup. If
you guys have additional useful patches that have remained unreviewed,
it'd probably be good to ping people to review them every so often.
These things are quickly forgotten, and if the author(s) don't push
for inclusion, it will be lost forever.
