It would be really helpful if in addition to describe *what* the
commit does, to also describe *why*.  What is the purpose of adding an
inline function to wrap the indirection?  This is especially important
since there is no real maintainer and no real development for NLS (and
hence not a lot of people who have a lot of expertise with the code).
So having some explanation in the NLS commits in this series would be
very useful.
