No. Even if we go your way, there is *one* single user, and that one is
special and needs to take a lot more care.

Just roll your own version, and make it an inline function like I've asked
now now many times, and add a shit-ton of explanations of why it's safe to
use in that *one* situation.

I don't want any crazy and unsafe stuff in the generic header file that
absolutely *nobody* should ever use.
