Doesn't that embarass you, writing something like that?

I'm curious if you've actually looked at the source code we're talking
about.

Let's start with how much systemd code we're talking about. Admittedly, I'm
not cutting out comments or whitespace here, but even so:

    .../elogind-241.4/src$ find . -name '*.c' -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
    125582
