I don't consider this a hack at all. Hmm. I suppose a full discussion of what "hack" means is offtopic, but to me if it's not a semantic misuse of some kind, and doesn't result in code that relies on an implementation detail not specified or promised, then it isn't a hack. What you're looking at here is just an option for an effective implementation.
