Surely this is the sensible option.  Perhaps you could confirm by looking at
method timestamps but my guess is that this code was used in the initial
development of Morphic and now that it is stand-alone this stuff isn't
necessary.  But I'm talking from a position of deep ignorance.  So caveat
emptor...
