I was asking more in general terms rather than about the specific patch.  For 
locale, it would really just be code tidying, not a performance boost, so I 
wasn't sure if it was worth it in beta 3 state.  If you say yes, though, I'll 
see about redoing it.  (The last version of the patch sucked for various 
reasons.)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
