Yes. I added the do {} bit just to limit the scope of the `no srict  
'refs'` (and included the comment).

Well, that's irritating. Now I'll have to completely rewrite my patch,  
because they'll conflict. I wish you wouldn't go changing the code  
you've asked for volunteers to change after a volunteer has changed  
it, and force said volunteer to go and rewrite what they just wrote.  
Honestly, I agree that things could be better, but they could be  
refactored *after* my patch was applied. This just is not how you  
encourage people to continue contributing to the project.

Best,
