The question whether the code is legal or not is not bikeshedding.
Valid, correct, code is important. Both for function and for
maintenance.

The questions is cleared: The old code is fully valid. So the question
which style is preferred is indeed a bikeshed question. On the other
side there seem to be validators having trouble with this code. That
makes one wonder how valid the results are when a simple expression like
the one discussed here already causes trouble and whether it is worth to
risk issues introduced by these changes (and we saw they easily
accidentally cause issues) ... I think a good way would be to move this
change to a branch, run the analyzer and if there are useful results
decide on their benefit vs the change risk.
