I deleted it then I realized many lines like these

    files_downcast(ref_store, REF_STORE_READ, "read_raw_ref");

would become

    files_downcast(ref_store, 0, "read_raw_ref");

I think for newcomers, the former gives a better hint what the second
argument is than a plain zero in the latter, so I'm inclined to keep
it.
