It still is. That argument is never used as a codec afaics. As a compilation handler it's largely a NOP since the decoder doesn't contain any of the functions that a compilation handler should, so the safe_apply_handler calls falls back to the compat and standard handlers anyway.

But how does the "this" passing complicate inheritance? If an inherited object instance is used then that one will also be passed on, which seems like the right thing to me.
It's the wrong thing to do when the dependency is to a program dumped with another codec, such as a module dumped by the pike installer. The choice must be made on a program-by-program basis.
