+Just to follow up on this, it seems that the regression comes from the\r
+fix Carl introduced in 2a1a4f0551 to make his simplification of my patch\r
+(simplification = 36e4459a3 , my patch = 4971b85641) pass tests. The\r
+question is whether my original, more complicated version would have\r
+passed the tests without the regressing fix. I do know that it showed\r
+the search order as expected.\r
+\r
+Unfortunately, I'm not quite skilled enough at git to turn back some\r
+files to a certain state, tests to another state, and so on.\r
+\r
+Best,\r
