FWIW, I don't see much value in the proposed change. The resulting code
isn't better in any noticeable way. Even if the change were straightforward,
the value of the patch would seem questionable. There's no point in creating
code churns like this. Nothing is improved in any material way while
creating completely unnecessary risk for subtle breakages.

Thanks.
