Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. Or as a patch whose
time has come, I guess:

https://public-inbox.org/git/20180628020414.25036-1-aaron@schrab.com/

AFAICT the remaining task was to send a new revision of the patch, with
the commit message touched up, to reflect the analysis that it handles the
`auto` setting well.

Your patch adds a regression test in addition, which is very nice.

So maybe you can coordinate with Aaron about that first patch? I really
think that the commit message needs to explain why the `auto` setting is
not a problem here.

Ciao,
