Thanks!

Didn't know about fiber.info() feature. I think we can add some stat.

To convert into bool's inverse. IOW, it is a common trick using
double negation to map [0;N] into bools and third negation
for the inverse. Actually on low level it is the same as
return memcmp(...) == 0 but shorter. If it is confusing
I can put traditional comparision.
