implSpec marks that the paragraph below describes the details and logic of the default implementation and not the API specification. This tag also says that it can be changed in overriding or extending methods so it is Ok to specify non-public class to help describe the implementation specifics.

As for the correctness on all platforms - that's the end goal of this new method and i believe it should be implemented this way everywhere where technically possible. But exact implementation on all platforms except Windows is outside of the scope of this exact changeset.
