I'm ok with this patch, as it makes the code cleaner, but in a few
cases, such functions could be useful, for example for doing things
like typecasting or when we need to use multiple versions of the same
code, one to be used internally and another to be used externally
with a different set of arguments inside the function call
(none of this applies here, it seems).

So, I think clang should be fixed anyway to support it.

Anyway, I'll be applying this patch.

Regards,
Mauro
