They are kind of deprecated for the new uesrs, but we still have
handful of users of it.

As I said earlier as well in one of the emails, if you are worried
about the extra 'if' check in the hot path, then wouldn't this fix it

No I am not :)

Perhaps this was just mis-worded in the Documentation then.
