That's more or less what I mean.

For the most part, I'd be against adding anything to
the transform function before it gets cleaned and
split correctly. It is already over complicated and
keeping piling stuff in one function is not correctly
programmation. Moreover, cramming the function will
make the cleaning/splitting only that more difficult.

This is really a case by case thing though. If the
change fixes a bug and/or is not too complex I
wouldn't be totally against it.

Bottom line is, as far as I'm concerned, no go to
commit this for now. I guess the code is simple enough
to be reviewed easily, just send in the new code (no
patch, I find it easier to review complete chunks of
code).
