Thanks for your suggestion.

Such a software refactoring is also possible if a corresponding
consensus could be achieved.
* Can such a change mean that the lock scope will be extended
  for both use cases (successful and failed function execution)?

* How much does this implementation matter for you?

* Would you like to achieve a small reduction of the object code there?

* How do you think about consequences from special communication settings
  by a well-known maintainer for my update suggestions?

Regards,
Markus
