I think we should avoid nitpicking stuff like this. I likely would
have used a subroutine if I'd done it myself, but I definitely
wouldn't have submitted a patch to change whatever the last person did
without some tangible reason for so doing. It's not a good use of
reviewer and committer time to litigate things like this.
