R. David Murray added the comment:

Anyone who uses stdlib code as examples of best practice doesn't understand the 
history of stdlib code.

Generally, we consider the danger of introducing bugs to be more significant 
than the benefit of the "cleanup" changes.  The fact that you are discussing 
further changes to the code in the PR make this more likely.
