So, why check it in in the first place ?  It is unused, undocumented
and only you are ever going to use it and even you will have to modify
the code to insert the calls to this code before you can use it.

I have God knows my many pieces of code like that lying around, but
since they are far to narrow of scope I don't commit them to the
tree, no matter how convenient that would have been for me.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
