This is certainly not to be invoked on a frequent basis (and therefore
not on a hot path), but from a more general angle, wouldn't this leave
a(nother) plain "jsr... rts" sequence without any effect other than
burning a few cycles? If the whole function call can be disabled
(ignored) in a certain configuration, it shouldn't call at all, should
it?

Cheers.
