Hi Tamir. Thank you for this and other PRs. I think that those are good changes and I'd like to accept them. That said, we are currently working on improving performance of the proto package. Those changes are extensive and I'd like to push them before accepting other PRs to minimize the amount of work that needs to be done. Is waiting a few weeks ok with you?

Hi @LMMilewski. Sounds like a classic response on a Google OSS project - please wait an indeterminate period of time on this 4-line change so that our developers can avoid learning how to use Git.

@LMMilewski it's been 3 months. Consider merging this, please?

Hi @tamird. Can you sync the PR to head? And I can merge it in. I may not be able to quickly respond but will try to get this in sometime this week.

I've not looked at your other PRs, but do sync them to head as well and I can take a look. We've been holding off some of these PRs as we do need to sync them with another repo and it's a bit challenging at times to sync both ways.

Thanks.

Done (for all PRs).
