You are using a side effect of the masking to clear/enable the block.
I'm simply saying that we should be explicit about enabling it.  My
concern is that using the side effect hides what is being done and
could result in a bug somewhere down the line.  I think this is
improbable based on the code, but wanted to err on the side of
caution.
