lgtm.

[simonjayhawkins]

can we also fix bfill/backfill while doing this. basically same issue, needs same change applied to L6516

[dylanp-git]

yeah I can do that. I'm not sure what "Igtm" or "L6516" mean/referring to, if I need to know then could someone let me know please.

@dylanp-git lgtm means 'looks good to me'; L6516 is line number 6516

Thanks a lot @dylanp-git !

No worries! I was going to look into it again later as only 20/22 checks passed?

On another note, how many "good first issue" issues do you think I should do before trying something a bit more in-depth?

IMO if you've got familiar with the contribution workflow then you could start immediately
