According to the patches: 0001 - looks good for me. 0002 - I don't understand why to use 'explain' in VERBOSE mode in tests. What do you try to detect here?
The VERBOSE mode is used to observe that PHVs are adjusted correctly and put in the right targetlist.
0003 - ok, but too short. Maybe squash all these patches into one?
It seems to me that these three patches are addressing separate issues and are independent of each other. For instance, the issue addressed by 0001 exists on master even without other changes, and 0002 is an improvement that does not depend on others, while 0003 is a fix of an incorrect comment. I don't think it's a good idea to squash them into one.
I think these corrections are good enough for commit.
Thank you for reviewing these patches. Alexander, what are your thoughts on these patches?
