Sure.  In fact I've never proposed to apply this patch.  As I said in
my original submission, the only purpose of reviving  issue1507011 is
this way was to give an easy way for users who claimed that in their
apps saving 4-8 bytes per interned string would make a difference to
test their claim.

Just as with issue1507011 three years ago I personally did not see
noticeable improvements in my applications from the patch.
