Makes sense to rename it as that will catch all the callers that
depend on the old semantics and name.

This new codepath that does not die will not leak anything, as

Not a new problem but is it obvious why the comparison of "len" is
against "2"? This may deserve a one-liner comment.
Otherwise looks good to me.
