Thank _you_ for the patch, documentation and most importantly:
testing with real traffic.
I fixed up some minor line-wrapping, signed-off, and added your
quote above to the commit message. Pushed as
commit 5c700fc2cf398848ddcf71a2aa3f0f2a6563e87b
to git://bogomips.org/unicorn.git
I'll tag and push a 4.5.0.preview1 gem soon
