I'm good with whatever is the easiest.

I agree.

Okay - this sounds reasonable - a simplification like that could
even lead to making all the new functions static inlines which
would cut down on the exported symbols.

All those sound like good ideas to me. I'll take a bit of time to bash on this
and send out an updated revision soonish.
