Means that the people using it (incl. me) never hit those edge-cases.
Seldom is there time to go poking around the code of things that
appear to be working as-expected 100% of the time. That’s all.

In the case of this particular bug, I hadn’t noticed it. And I use grdc
all the time. What can we say? code gets better over time with more
eyeballs (and sometimes the old eyeballs stop scrutinizing, so it’s
often good to also have young eyeballs take a look at things).

I don’t think this situation is a call for deprecating anything.
