There was a problem hiding this comment.
looks fine. i wonder if it is worth adding a comment about the history with targetDesc? (ok if you dont think it is necessary)
In the code somewhere? (as a comment on the line where it used to be declared?) or here in the PR? |

I don't think a code comment is needed (it was not a particularly important part of the code, no "historic" relevance, and git is here for future archeologists), and we can edit the PR if needed later; submitting now. |

Gave up on the grammatical case-switching approach suggested here:

In the end dropping
targetDesc()altogether means about a dozen extra lines, I think the added clarity is worth it. As seen here, it also unconstrains us from shoehorning both branches into the same format, potentially adding clarity to the message.
