Yes, I think both of these are better than "(&r)->query_status()";
however, they are both still circumlocutions.

This may be an opportune time to point out that I have never claimed
that any of my three objections was a "killer," i.e., something that
made the proposal completely unacceptable; they are just points that
have to be weighed against the obvious attractions of the proposal.  I
think that posts like this, which reduce the negative impact of the
problems, are exactly the kind of helpful contributions I would hope
to see from the proposal's supporters.
