The short of it, the second wouldn't work without the first one. And the 
first one makes a lot of sense (no need to invent an extra variable if 
the way to store the necessary info is so obvious).

There is some possibility of this causing a regression, but the changes 
are relatively small. And no third-party code should be affected by this 
change.
