Thanks. I'll verify that this is how it works before committing the patch.

Sure. It's casual speech. When something about what a person does is a very 
prominent attribute of his character or behaviour then one often casually uses 
his name as a verb for that action.

>You could add Perined as another exception if you wish; I think it'd be less 
>confusing if you do it so there aren't multiple versions of the patch from me. 

Sure, I'll do it.
