Wow git played a really nasty trick on me here. I still don't understand how this could get lost. If you look at 343ab18, the "-" lines don't have that code.
And git log changerecorder_p.h doesn't show f142cc25, even though a more general "git log" does. I can't make sense of this.

Anyway, I'll re-apply f142cc25 again on top, then.

One last question: 4.9 or master?
On one hand it's a major performance fix, on the other hand I guess we don't want to change a file format in 4.9.x, right?
