Well it's marked as changed by Dan (di) April 12, 1999 and has  
existing  tail logic of

				newMethod _ performMethod.
				messageSelector _ performSelector]

In looking in fact it's there in the squeak 1.1 release from the fall  
of 1996.

However in my 15 minutes of looking at messageSelector usage I don't  
see anything that leaps out implying the remembering/restore is vital.
