"Quick" object snap

Does anyone recall the history of the "Quick" object snap? Anyone use it? Why? 

 

When you turn on this mode using the -OSNAP command, prior to 2016, it sets the bitcode 1024 in OSMODE, but the documentation of OSMODE (going back to 2006), says 1024 "Clears all object snaps".

 

The reason this came up is that an old lisp file here was calling this line (command "Osnap" "QUICK,nea"), and in 2016 and later, it FAILS. (Found this old post with the same problem, after the fact)

 

Strangely enough, you can still set OSMODE to any value that contains bitcode 1024, you just can no longer use "Quick" when setting it using the OSNAP command.
