As far as I can see it's described as not portable, which is obviously
correct, but not actually a violation of anything.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html

However...  AARGH we were already metafying and unmetafying the value, but
not the identifier...  So now we're doing it twice.

I will give it a bit more consideration before posting anything else.
