Doesn't "violate" it, as such ... there's a balance to be maintained
here. Adding a scratch-pool parameter means revising the API and
propagating the revision up the call chain to all the places where a
meaningful scratch pool is already available. Sure it's better to do do
that in the long run; but does the change warrant the related code churn
now? Consider that there's a vtable involved here, too.
