Okay, I hope you like the attached version better.

Yes, thanks. Are the casts to float necessary in the initializer for
first_part_length? The 1.0 means the result will be a double anyway.
Should that be 1.0f, or are the (float) casts just visual noise?

In any case, I think it's OK for mainline, thanks.

Good point, I have cleaned that up, and commited.
