What’s the value in doing this unless it makes the diff clearer?

It only makes the diff clearer if you don’t have single character highlighting in your diff tool. Which most have now. Have had for a decade.

Also it’s not going to be a single line anyway. You add a line to the query and one to the caller. At a minimum. So you’re really arguing for three versus four. Which is false economy.
