the library routine be non-destructive for whatever is already set on
the machine at given time. Yeah, I know I am not going to verify the
state of IRQ flag ;-)

If that's your primary goal than your VIC solution will indeed be the
best. But probably to use the $D012 register, you would need to turn the
display on - this is also possibly invasive.
