Thanks, will fix both.

I definitely see your point.
But I'm not really OK to replicate code, even if it's "just" twice.
So, I'll work a bit more on that. I'll move this patch to the end
of the series to gain a bit more time.

If I can't come up with a better approach I'll go this way
and just copy the extraction code as suggested above.

Bests,
