FWIW, the argument is that this has been handled by WebKit clients and not
WebKit code in all existing cases that I am aware of.  Moreover,
WebCore/platform has not ever contained a backingstore class.  I don't see why
this should be implemented in WebCore if only one port is using it.  That's
all.  Kind of moot at this point though.
