This is a little weird for a commit log.  If you want to show results
this would be something that goes into a cover letter.

These helpers are completely silly.  Just keep the existing open code
version using sizeof with the one-off removed.

Same here.  And this obsfucated version also adds completely pointless
overly long lines while making the code unreadable.
