I worked hard to get those in there (they had been written and unused years before I found them). They worked shortly before the ASDF2 redesign, and I had hoped they survived it intact. IMO, this is a critical feature that should not be removed.

I am not advocating it to be removed. I just pointed out that in going through the code, cleaning it up and reorganizing it, unused features came to the surface. I was actually surprised to see that this code, which is Windows dependent, was compiled and included for _all_ platforms, but the associated functions were not used _anywhere_.
