I contacted ben saylor in private in 2014, thing is that it needs to
receive a set message, otherwise it wont work with the specified array
given as first argument.

Hi Alexandre,

I'm aware of the issue but don't have time to fix it myself, unfortunately.
Here's an explanation I wrote to someone else, and a workaround.

I think the reason the seemingly redundant "set" is required is that

> change, you don't need a set message.

All the best,
Ben
