Nobody claims 100.0% coverage in a review.  Sometimes such things slip
through, some times they are detected.

I doubt that. I think I have seen a fair share of different
environment settings. There are many, many in the 1...2 KiB range.
Very, very few exceed 4 KiB. You have to search really hard to find
one that gets close to 8KiB.

Define "need". There is no urgent need - it's not a bug, the code is
working, though inefficiently.  It's an optimization thingy.

Best regards,
