This was a private function used on an unsupported platform, this should do no harm. We’ve been bitten by “should do no harm” before though, so I am ready to revert this change (and learn from this :)

Do as you like. I won't insist on it being reverted.

It's rather a matter of agreeing when moving forward: IMO, mere style changes, code cleanup etc shouldn't be applied to the bug fix branches, as their only purpose is to provide bug fixes for existing users.

Regards, Martin
