Yeah, you are right[1]. I'm happy to re-roll. I wonder if we even need
to worry about a compatibility wrapper. We are already doing pointer
manipulations, and it is probably just as readable to roll the loop by

Yeah, unrolling the loop is probably better.  You may even be able
to do so in a single pass with an extra "last > seen" pointer
variable without too much additional code complexity, I would think.
