I have read more than that.

This is a widespread wish from many developers.
You store each relation in a separate entry in the mm table. The pid in
the mm table only means where in the backend it can be found in the LIST
view. It is there only for this reason and because the pid is needed for
many TYPO3 functions.

Yes, but this is needed now to write an extension for the backend and it
would save at least one XCLASS file.
So this small change would be great help.

Nothing will get broken with this, if you add the parameter with a
default value to the function ', $pid = '');'
