You haven't addressed any of the arguments I brought up.

In that case, I'll have to keep in mind to avoid any code you write like a
plague ;) Because as I explained, in most situations using such a function is
just wrong, and will result in buggy programs that crash in strange places if
something doesn't go according to its plan.
