Fair enough; generally I agree, but I figured it'd be a bit cleaner to
avoid a version check. Mostly though, it was because there's already a
default case in the function's only caller which guarantees that no
other case can ever trigger in this one. Could add an assert(0) in the
default case here to make it really blindingly clear?
