Well I think you were saying the standard SHOULD have factored them out,
presumably because they are both useful to users, and reasonably
necessary parts of the underlying implementation that could have been
exported, as opposed to just giving more clutter for implementers to
supply.

So now I have to also wonder what they do and what they are good for.
