I'd be surprised if that's the only legacy code that still uses it. There
was a lot of code that relied on these pragmas several years back; I doubt
it's all been rewritten.
Hey, I'm not a big fan of these #pragmas either, but I'm bothered by the
"all extensions are evil, who cares about the users" attitude as well.
I am, however, in favor of improving the documentation so it doesn't seem
like we're suggesting that people use them in new code.

Except it isn't.
