    No. Even if we go your way, there is *one* single user, and that one is
    special and needs to take a lot more care.

    Just roll your own version, and make it an inline function like I've asked
    now now many times, and add a shit-ton of explanations of why it's safe to
    use in that *one* situation.

    I don't want any crazy and unsafe stuff in the generic header file that
    absolutely *nobody* should ever use.
