again `probably': probably it is used in production code ... usually
people don't report if they use code which works fine, but just complain
when experiencing bugs ...

in german there is a saying: `evidence, not eminence' ... not sure if it
translates, but it means something like: in doubt review the code and
perform tests instead of trusting the opinion of guru's ... ;)
