I guessed that too because it is used in SmartRefStream.
But what does it means exactly, because I cannot believe that only four 
classes changes the structure since 96.

I guess that this is about class structure changes. My point is that if 
this mechanism is good we should really use it
to ensure backward compatibility. It is used for backward compatibility 
on uniclass when I save a project?
  Or I do not see the point to only have 4 classes over, 1800 that use 
it. So I want to know more.
