Ah, lovely, comments that describe something different than what the
actual implementation does..

Yes, that was the only place using it, currently only the disabled test
code in ScInterpreter::ScMatInv() uses it, but wouldn't differ if the
implementation was changed as it calls with identical quadratic
dimensions.
