Thanks for the review, John!

I've split the changes into separate commits, as suggested, and added a
third one to improve the error message as well.

It certainly should :)
I've updated the documentation accordingly.

I've changed the if-else cascade into a switch statement, which keeps
the column count below 80 and looks better IMHO.

To be honest, I don't know nearly enough about migration to be able to
tell whether this is the case. I'll look into it, but it would be great
if at least the other two commits (bug fix) could be merged in the
meantime.

I'll post a v3 right away.

Cheers.
