That is true. OTOH, your approach can also be evaluated by weighting
the complexity it introduces (however small) against the uncleanliness
of adapting one current primitive to cater to expectations. I'd be
more convinced that your generalization is useful if we had many
different platform-dependent implementations, but that does not seem
likely.
