Nah, I was asking a genuine question, not pushing anything in
particular. I *thought* the code base was more consistent than it is,
but it turns out that was an error of perception on my part, rather
than an objective fact.

With my perception of the status quo corrected, I can stop worrying
about preserving a non-existent consistency.

Cheers,
Nick.
