and while some of that is just the new comment, some of it is just "overhead". It's also a bit odd how the new helper is marked "inline", but nobody will inline it because it's not actually in the header file or any of the isers in the same C file. Maybe it originally was, and that's where the inline came from, and then Christian decided to make it be by the regular "follow_up()" instead?
