The function View::get_artefact_hierarchy() was then removed later in 2007 due to errors, but View::find_artefact_children() was left behind by apparent oversight. In its current form it's not very useful, and it's more or less redundant with artefact_get_descendants() in artefact/lib.php. Likewise there are several other "orphan" methods in the View class, which it would be good to remove because: 1. The class is already huge, and removing unnecessary methods will make it easier for developers to find the useful methods in it. 2. These unused methods often contain bugs, because they're not updated when Mahara's internal data structures change. I'm going to remove several of these unused methods, and refactor away a few single-use methods that don't provide any real API value.
