I think any choice is acceptable, from a semantics point of view.
Maybe one of the two choices is "superior" in some sense, but it's not
clear which, and I doubt it matters much. So I think the option that
leads to the cleaner code (ideally, both for the current code, and for
any foreseeable alternative implementation we decide to use in some
distant future) should be preferred.
