No :)  When I put that patch together (as said in the original PR) most of the
help came from others who knew C pretty well.  I'd forgotten most of my own C
skills long before I ever got my first PC :)

(I learned C in college, but never managed to put that skill to any use, at
the time all I had was a Commodore 128 as my only computer.  On that platform,
C wasn't a very viable choice against 6502 assembly :-)
