Thanks.  The description on the pragma is a good thing to add, which you
did.

Is Visual C++ happy with casting discarded result to (void)?  I'd find it
broken if it isn't, but it would not hurt to ask just to make sure.

Steffen, can we move the series, with this patch replaced, to 'next' now?
I think it looks good (thanks!) but again it would not hurt to ask just to
make sure ;-).
