I'm getting at your "doomed to failure" argument.

I'm surprised that you didn't think about the possibility to pass the
patch length as an argument to the function, that's all.  This  seems
all  too  obvious  to  me.  (If  you like you can this make an inline
function - then the code will be more or less identical  to  what  we
have now [which does not make the code a bit better, btw.])

Best regards,
