Oh, you got me here. I must have forgotten to remove them as well.

As we already noticed some time ago, mistakes propagate much faster than 
correct solutions. ;)

Both patterns are correct, I guess. I'm not sure if it makes sense to specify 
address of something that is not addressable and so approach 1 makes more 
sense to me.

OK.
