If the use is legitimate, perhaps the documentation should reflect this.

I'm just reviewing the code! But I think the objective (which comes up quite
often) is simply that we know there is at most one solution, we want
whatever is done inside the goal to be undone, but we also want to keep the
solution. It could be that "not not" coupled with the use of a shelf would
do the job here, but perhaps the coder found findall more convenient.
