SvOOK_on

Does any part of perl actually use SvOOK_on()
[to cheat and make the PV not actually point to the start of the malloc()ed
buffer, with the offset to the true start stored in the IV slot]
perl's code seems robust to turn if off when needed, eg:
#define SvIOKp_on(sv) ((void)SvOOK_off(sv), SvFLAGS(sv) |= SVp_IOK)
#define SvIOK_on(sv) ((void)SvOOK_off(sv), \
SvFLAGS(sv) |= (SVf_IOK|SVp_IOK))
but I can find no part of the perl tree that ever seems to turn on this
feature. Am I missing something, or is this now an unused vestige, or do
some extensions use it?
