It is far more important to describe "why" this is needed than what it does, the latter of which can be read from the patch text.

And I do not see any "why" here. Is this "when the current caller wanted to silence us, it spawned us in a separate process and redirected our output to /dev/null, but we no longer can do that because we will change the calling convention to allow direct calls into us"?

Do we have a precedent to name a switch that we usually call "quiet" or "silent" as "be_{silent,quiet}"? Is there already a "silent" nearby that records what the end-user gave us (e.g. via "--silent" option), a new name may be needed, but if that is the motivation, I'd probably call it something more specific, "apply_silently" or somesuch.
