And what is more important, this is impossible, AFAICS. The segment *id*
is returned to "userspace", so you can't just reorder the segments
without LUD values to be updated. The issue becomes impossible since
particular LUD value can't be obtained within Lua internal world. Hence
this is the *fastest* path for the current solution. Anyway, nobody can
stop us to improve it ;)
