Context
Frontier and Homestead era deployment.
Key Facts
Description
A contract whose only purpose is to delete itself. dappsys shipped it as ephemeral.sol for deploy sequences where an intermediate address is needed once and never again, with a comment saying it can and should be deleted as soon as possible. This deployment calls the function remove rather than cleanUp, which is the whole of the four bytes that separate it from the dappsys source. Ninety-three bytes, one function, and a single selector to tell the two versions apart.
