That looks like Monticello trickery.

A package can modify methods in classes that are owned by other  
packages.
(An application package can override something in a core class,
without taking on ownership of the full core class.)

When you unload the package that has the override method, the  
original is restored.
So there's probably funny business afoot to keep the original  
recoverable.
