It's precisely because it's such an unusual case that I'm looking to see
it as part of the common path - if it's not then it seems very liklely
that it'll get broken down the line and nobody will notice because the
code is never run.  Yes, it's unusual but having the unusual thing be a
bit more visible than it is used seems better than having support there
that gets broken.
