1. as I mentioned before, that's not not nice to ignore @cflags
2. that's not the right place for opcode specific handling
3. it doesn't work with overflowed reqs, see the final else below

For this scheme, I'd pass @append_offset as an argument. That should
also remove this extra if from the fast path, which Jens mentioned.
