Conceptually, yes - that's where the new member was introduced, so
that's where its accessor should have been introduced as well, had I not
managed to overlook the structure being conditionally defined and assume
it didn't need anything special doing. Of course it's not going to make
much difference in practice since they are immediately adjacent commits
anyway, but it felt right to point at where I made the fundamental
mistake rather than where the symptom appeared :)
