You could equally ask why we've marked the function "inline"
for both, when it's currently only required for non-win32
and only needed because it silences the warning on gcc.

Yeah, that's the "close coupling between warning-suppressing
and the implementation of a different bit of the code" approach.
As you say, personal taste; I've applied my r-by tag to the
