I don't feel strongly about that.  But this code is all ours, it's not
an external function (it used to be half-external, and then I hacked on
it half-extensively, after which the new version was sync'd back from
Emacs to gnulib, after which the gnulib side dropped it, and AFAIK Emacs
is the last remaining development line of this code, except maybe for
XEmacs's version).
