That's one way to look at it, yeah, but that doesn't capture all of the
benefits.  Those three parameters have given us *numerous* subtle bugs due
to typos and the like that go undetected on the committer's platform but
cause complete build breakage on other platforms.  Reducing to one
parameter saves the work that causes these bugs.
