I try to formulate it more fairly. In my opinion Gregory's patches so
far did not fix the issue in a way which is future-proof. The first
prematurely installed patch was obviously broken. The current proposal
introduces an unexpected special casing, where it would be better if the
function behaves uniformly for all arguments.
