My intuition (which I honestly did not verify using performance tests) was
that write() is called *much* more often than, say, open(), and therefore
I wanted to interfere as little as possible with the performance penalty.
Hence the choice of an inlined function as opposed to a non-optimizable
increment of the call chain.

If it bothers you a lot I will set aside time to perform performance
tests.

Ciao,
