Not a problem.  I eventually caught it, so it's all good. ;-)

Ah. Ok.  I think Cedric could probably tell us the real reason (CC'ed),
but I'm pretty sure it was intentionally skipped since not many people
care about binfilter for the most part.

Another useful way to hunt for usage of certain classes, macros etc, is
to use git grep "keyword".  Using it via the 'g' script

/g grep "keyword"

will give you rough ideas of where certain things are referenced across
all repositories, including binfilter.

Good question.  I think it was duplicated in order to shield itself from
depending on other modules.  Binfilter represents a snapshot of what
some parts of the OOo/LibO code base used to be, so you will see a lot
of duplications there but frozen in time, and SvShorts is no exception
apparently.

HTH,
