Yup.  Using Ffuncall (of `call1`, call2`, ...) is not in itself
a problem, especially for code like this which is not
performance critical.  But I suspect that using a DEFUN might be a better
option here for bootstrap reasons (if the code needs to be run before
things like `subr.el` have been loaded).
