I pushed this part of the patch.

I did not push them. As soon as we have users for them it makes sense
to add them. There is no good reason to add functions that might maybe
used later. If we use them somewhere we can still use the patch for
their implementation.

Pushed that without the old line.

The compiler warning is fixed.

And here the link to the patch:

Thanks a lot for the patch.
