The maintenance burden is the only issue here, and I just wanted to
point out the origin. I never enable that run-time option, the small
gain in speed cannot compensate the loss of cross-platform operations
for my uses. Actually, my git usage is mostly on Linux, but it seems 99%
of my maintenance time is on the cygwin side that I almost never use. Sigh.
