Ah, yes. You are right. It is still called in the DataStreamCalc and cannot
be easily removed as you noted.
Alright, then I'd suggest to just emit a casted `null`. This is not very
nice, as it might also be called at any other place but since we will remove
the marker function soon, it should not be a big issue.
