I think it's a convenient method. Even if not performing, it's still more convenient than forcing everyone who wants to use it to implement it by himself. Perhaps a better implementation will exist in the future, and thus everyone who'll use this method will be silently upgraded. Maybe such a better implementation should be considered?
