I was going for consistency with the rest of this section which doesn't
have newlines between the functions for some reason. I can add one and
resubmit but it might look a bit out of place?

Maybe something could be done with some macro magic, but it would
probably end up being worse than just copying them and would affect the
real ones as well. So yeah I can't think of any easy gains either.
