Looking good, but see inline.

Your commit message could be improved:

- the headline should make clear what this is, e.g. add functionality,
bugfix, shutting up sparse, etc. Using the verb 'fix' would be
good here.

- in case of a bugfix, it would make sense to write a short
paragraph about what can go wrong, followed by a short
paragraph outlining what the patch does to fix it.

Nit: why add a blank line here?
