Wolfram Sang has asked to have this included in 5.7 so the deprecated
API can be removed next release. There should be no functional
difference.
I think that entire this section of code can be removed; it is leftover
from other things that have since changed, but this is the safer thing
to do for now. The full removal can happen next release.
Thanks,
