Yep, they are both spliced.  I wouldn't be particularly motivated to 
ring either, I would prefer just two extents.

I guess someone might say A is too trivial because you only change at 
rounds.

Try as I might, I cannot bring myself to care.  If people want to ring 
silly things and/or describe them in odd ways, why is it any concern of 
mine?
