I invite you to have a look at the C implementation of these two
functions, and then explain to me how the original code was any harder
for "mere mortals" to understand, let alone trigger some questions.

Once again, we need to address this on a case by case basis; an
abstract principle will fail to lead to wise, balanced decisions.
