Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 @jorbin: If we're going to add an `@ignore` to the DocBlock, the docs
 should be complete and explicit about what it's supposed to be used for
 and why it exists. Docs are just as important internally as externally :-)

 Side note: I recognize why we need it in core, but it definitely feels a
 little weird adding a method specifically for testing purposes. Like maybe
 the underlying code isn't flexible enough in its implementation to be
 easily testable in the first place. I register my hesitation to make this
 a habit.
