I just meant that the API has been consistent for like 30 years.

Yep. But it still requires users to change their code for little to no
benefit. My general feeling is that you need a darn good reason to require
users to change their existing code, but others are welcome to disagree.

A different interface for this kind of thing would be nice. Perhaps
something better can be done and these functions can be deprecated? I'm
sure there are various options.
