I'm really just curious what the motivation is. The code does not
seem much cleaner to me as the user of the API, and it doesn't reduce
code size. Maybe there is a good reason for it, but then it needs to
be very clearly stated and you need to sell people on it.

Starting to get personal instead tends to not help to convince your
reviewers that it's really useful in general.
