I don't see the point for this change, frankly.

I doubt it is speed because those are not really hot paths.

Code savings ain't either: 5 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)

Having yet another exported function to modules if not really necessary
doesn't make it prettier too.

So if there's no point for it, you can simply drop it.

Thx.
