If you're okay with it, I would re-add it. :-)

Except that using void ** as a function parameter is not
portable C. This would need to be void *, cast to void **
inside the function. But this would blur the nature of that
parameter.

We have the same with talloc_move, here it is also not
visible from the function parameter that we have a
TALLOC_CTX **, so we probably have to live with the fact
that the function prototype is non-intuitive. C just sucks
in this respect :-)
