Great thanks!

No strong reason -- just went with what swait.h already used before on
similar condition before, in this case it follows swait_event() model.
In the future it may be possible to share a very nasty macro for both
but since that would involve using a helper function as an argument
I deferred that at this point -- it'd be ugly.
