I don't remember this idea coming up, and as far as I know, nobody is
planning on it.
I don't have much of an opinion on the merits of the switch. If the
resulting code is just as clear, it would be an improvement, since it
would be more standard. On the other hand, it's a reasonably large
change to make; unless it could be done mechanically it may not be worth
the trouble.
Since we've only converted the inspector and "plausibly
inspector-related" bits of code so far, if we want to make some change
here, it would be good to decide before converting the rest of the tree.
I don't know when that is going to happen.
