I see not just a little of non-trivial code for a very minor feature,
that might be a hint that it would be best to let it go.

Also, if somebody is debugging a program using the libraries, the
pointers are relevant for that program. For that reason, I think the
change is a bad idea in the library.

On the other hand, you could do that change in the fftools. The point
about pointers being relevant does not apply for them, and they can have
as much global state as they want.
