Hi y'all,
Thanks for the (continued) reviews!

A fair point!  I can change that wording in a next version of the patch.

I'm not sure I understand how this improves the demonstration of 'pk'.  
What does this form of the example demonstrate that the version in the 
patch does not?  It's a minor change so I'm happy to make it; I just 
want to ensure that we have the best possible version of the solution 
to the problem you see.

Best,
Juli
