I have a patch in flight that uses PI along with this routine.  The patch isn't yet in a state to be reviewed, but I figured I'd post this just to make sure I was on the right track w.r.t. cleaning up the ssa copies..  Approval for this can certainly be deferred until I have my WIP in a reviewable state.
