Yup, makes sense to me.
Stefan raises the excellent objection that `process-lines' is pretty
trivial, and that it's not much used. The former is definitely true,
but I wonder whether the reason it's not used much is because of the
very awkward interface. Peder's patch fixes this by introducing a
-ignore-status version of the function (which is how it should have been
all along), so perhaps this version will get more usage.
So I've applied Peder's patch to Emacs 28.
