Thanks for testing.

Indeed, I only reimplemented the parts I saw as clearly beneficial.
Most importantly, my patch improves stuff without breaking other stuff.

Perhaps you can explain your use case for the rest of the changes, and

into it at some point.

If you could elaborate about these bullets, and explain their use,
that'd be great.

Yes, I think `y-or-n-p` is more user friendly here, don't you?
