Having code we don't use is a maintenance burden without benefits. If
local patching is an issue, perhaps you could rewrite the code as a
module?
But I actually still don't understand why you took such a radical step
and removed everything except the primitive. I think this is a
valuable debugging feature, of which we don't have enough in Emacs.
Would it help if I volunteered to produce documentation from some
explanatory unformatted text that you could provide? Or are you
refusing to document this out of some principle? Or is something else
a matter here?
