It would also help if this wasn't the case of how it should be that people
aren't sending mail on previous commits telling me I should be using

I personally don't care either way, but it's not documented and when I get
mail saying "hey you shoulda done it this way" I tend to buy into that since
it's in use already in 5 other packages.
