Just because there's "crap out there" doesn't mean a new feature isn't 
useful or a good idea.  No one requires you to call "removeLocals" or 
whatever method in your code.  Obviously, no "crap out there" currently 
calls such a method, unless you're willing to muck with reflection.  So 
what harm does adding something useful do?  That someone *might* use it 
inappropriately?  Come on, that describes every single method in the 
Java API.
