This patch makes the code clearer,
and makes it explicit that we know what we are doing.
If it makes that the compiler happy at the same time,
then we can leave the switches set in a way that helps us avoid writing
new bugs.
I agree that this is not the time to put this fix into the next release,
but we could have a general code cleanup bug depend in this for the
next code clean up.
