me neither but to me it's the fastest and most save way it can be done 
without braking stuff...

besides that there're more of such situations were it'd be nice to just 
reuse a TYPO3 core class but you can't because they immediately get 
executed, too if youn include them (file and record listing f.e.)

sure, the only thing is that we can't really remove stuff from a file 
because of the holly cow... you never know who xclassed or missused the 
class in whatever way...

I would be perfectly fine with that if we can agree on it with a couple 
more people...
