I think I have used it in the meaning of is-last trait, back in
January, before the page breaking algorithm was applied. I see that
BlockStackingLM now uses isFirst(Pos) and isLast(Pos). I am not sure
why this LM introduces the methods; every LM needs to be able to mark
its areas as first or last, is it not? Anyway, I have always felt that
this needed a review as it seemed to be implemented in a patchy
manner.
