I would say 'meh'...but the commit message is downright confusing. It
suggests that subsequent commits, plural, will be modifying this code
further. There is only one more commit in this series, and looking
ahead, it doesn't even touch this file. So, there actually isn't any
reason for these changes beyond what we see in this file, at least not
for this series. And as far as this series is concerned, I think it's
actually less readable. If there's a subsequent series that will use
this and make further changes I could be convinced, but then I'd say
this commit belongs as part of the later series, not this one.
