I realised there is a simpler and more powerful approach than the one taken in python#19600. This basically adds the new "Step 2" to the original code.

Thanks, looks good -- just one potential code path that seems redundant.

I realised there is a simpler and more complete approach than the one taken in #19600.
This adds the new "Step 2" to the original code. Best way to review the diff is probably to check it out and review it squashed with #19600 , but really the net logic change is just "Step 2"
