One of my other points was that the existing "fast" functions use
unsigned int rather than size_t, so that's another reason to replace
them.

Adding new functions and using them to replace all uses of the old ones
in our codebase does not need a major bump. Actually removing the old
ones does, but that can be done whenever.
