OK.

I could find no previous commit by ej32u <at> protonmail.com, and this patch
is only 11 lines.  I therefore believe we could safely install it as
Copyright-paperwork-exempt.  Unless anyone disagrees with that analysis,
I'll push this to master in the next couple of days.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
