Indeed, I didn't mean to imply otherwise, and sorry if I gave that 
impression. There is a small cost to adding new methods like this, in 
future maintenance, and the future consistency of the extension, but 
you're right that it's not a big deal, and other than finding the right 
name, I've no real reason to object to this method.
