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.
