So to be honest, I actually pushed the change more or less by accident,
I'm happy to back it out again.

My reasoning was something along these lines: First, I find it awkward
to always type the long form when we always have the same patterns.
Especially with the IN_RANGE() part, which I haven't even fully
converted I think. So that's my immediate motivation for adding it, but
as the de-facto maintainer now I'd also want people to really be able
to figure out which pattern they should use, regardless of whether
they're looking at old or new bits, so unifying it (towards the new one
because I'm a lazy bastard) seemed like a good idea.
