Numbering your paragraphs and using full commit IDs like this doesn't
help with legibility...

Nope, this breaks v3.9 - in that version they both modify in place and
return the parsed value.  In v3.10 it already does what you have because
the in place and return value versions have been split.

We need to either revert the commit from v3.9 on the basis that nobody
noticed the issue until some other work so it can't be that bad or come
up with a more invasive fix, at this point in the cycle I'm more
inclined to do the latter.
