1.1 Alpha) FX renaming holdover?

Awesome. OK, I'll forward to this change in a future build. As I said, I'm running smoothly, so there's no issue.

This wasn't missed as such because it's being removed completely. This is one of the things that was due to be removed for the final as we'll use RTTI instead of this convoluted method to validate the datablock type. It'll also mean you won't have to mess around with the datablock_id stuff that is real nasty.
