OK.  The early return may make sense, as we are essentially
declaring that everything is the "INPUT (= message + ignored)".

You do not need {braces} around a single-statement block, though.

Other than that, I didn't find anything quesionable in any of the
patches in this round.  Looking good.

Thanks.
