Yes, fine with me. The main point for me is getting rid of the
annoying function redefinitions (and the accompanying warnings).

Ok, but I looks like the rest of the supporting infrastructure for
that is missing. Anyway conditionalizing that code  is probably
the best solution - or do what Robert Dodier suggested:

I leaver it up to you to decide.
