FWIW, I've been using a slight variant of this code in my local Emacs
hacks for the last probably 10-15 years (I can't remember when I wrote
it, and the Git history only goes back to the Bzr->Git switch).

I had completely forgotten about it, but while doing the tests, I saw
that some cases were working better (in my local Emacs) than what
I expected while reading the code on `master` :-)
