Hi Naush

Thanks for the patch! Only a couple of very minor things...

Ah, I see we zero this here, answering some of my questions about the
previous patch!

I wonder if there's just a little bit more copying of controls going
on here than is strictly necessary (maybe emplace_back?), but I agree
that it's entirely inconsequential.

Same comment here. Though I wonder if maybe I wrote this originally,
which would make it all my fault (most things are!).

I guess this is the spot where I'd just want to convince myself
nothing bad can happen if ipaConfig.operation is undefined but
controls was NULL. I'm probably worrying over nothing...

Those little things aside:
