`RANK_DEFAULT` raised the question why ZUN just didn't directly assign
the apparent default of `RANK_NORMAL`. Turns out that this is what
triggers the first-launch setup menu.

I could have equally argued the opposite way, and in favor of `sgm` and
`ofs`, but I've also been using `seg` and `off` more prevalently
throughout the years.

Getting us completely macro-free there… even though it did require a
separate version of those functions if the ID is a pointer.

Again, 11 necessary workarounds, vs. forcing byte aligment in at least
18 places, and that number would have significantly grown in the

And of course, TH05 ruins the consistency once again. Sure, the added
file error handling is nice, but we also have changes in the playful
messages (lol), and now need a third distinct optimization barrier
(🤦)… But as it turns out, inlined calls to empty functions work as
well. They also seem closer to what ZUN might have actually written
there, given that their function body could have been removed by the
preprocessor, similar to the logging functions in the Windows Touhou
games. (With the difference that the latter infamously *aren't*
inlined…)
