HI.

There are a handful of features/functions that are undocumented. I also
have a use for these two functions.

However, even knowing that they are there I will refrain from using them
for the simple fact that if a feature is not in the official documents,
then it is not officially supported.  If it is not officially supported,
then it is always subject to change/deletion without notice.

The deletion (like other system-related tasks) can be accomplished with
some elbow-grease by calling another service or writing a config file of
some sort that will be picked up.

Regards,
David Ennis
