Its purpose is to avoid putting 1 in a thousand /hdec's you may already have in your thousand scripts. If you don't need it, fine. But some people need it, instead of going to the annoying search for every /hdec call to put a single '1' at its end, which would be much "crazier" (and rather "facetious" too) than overriding the command for such a simple fix, since /hdec is obviously going to be fixed.
