Unclear lazy_deployment_completed getter behaviour

[imartemy1524]

When one compile any tact smart-contract, it generates lazy_deployment_completed method for him .

But, the purpose of this method seems unclear for me:

• documentation says that:

  get method that returns true if the contract is deployed and false otherwise.

  But in practice, this method returns not bool but (slice,bool).
  

  Is this a bug or a feature? (probably a bug due to the poor implementation in FUNC, but if a feature, one should document it more clearly):

  _ lazy_deployment_completed() method_id {
      return get_data().begin_parse().load_int(1);
  }
  

  Because one uses .load_int here but not ~load_int, this method returns not bool but slice (self) with remaining contract data and only then the bool flag.

• In practice this method is useless for now (nobody calls it) and as I understood, there is no ability (flag) to disable it in compilation, so it just takes space in compiled code cell. Is this a feature or not?

  Can we add such flag?

sounds like a great idea to me
