I'm curious if anyone knows S.D., or why S.D. thinks #ThisMethodShouldNotBeThere. Nothing like a good mystery! CC'd a couple folks who could be S.D. (Ray is sD on squeaksource.)

I was tempted to simply append

self flag: #OhReallyWhy? "cbr"

...and ship it off to all three forks just to be a stinker, but I resolved to send this email instead;)
