The former does not exactly show how ugly it was, but I do not have
to see it.  It is talking about eliminating the need for memcpy()
and duplicated header generation code, which the suggestion you are
responding to didn't even attempt.  If Peff said he tried an even
more aggressive refactoring and it ended up too ugly to live, I
believe him and agree with his assessment.

The latter is preferrable, but we do not mind too strongly about
the name of file-scope static helper that will never be called
directly by anybody other than the two more public entry points the
helper was designed to serve.
