works for me.

well, there is some value in having consistency even if it is something
sub-optimal if we intend to do a mechanical change of all instances in
the future.

as a side question, what is the projects stance on getting more warnings
clean? there are a few not enabled that i'd really like to see e.g.
format, conversion, truncation etc..

i looked at lib/eal previously and there are... hundreds? of instances so
it's a non-trivial task. the problem i see is somehow getting to a
warnings clean state where we can enable -Werror in the CI pipeline but
at the same time figuring out how to prevent new instances from
appearing until we do.
