It's an interesting chunk of code. It's not particularly useful to me, but I'm not doing any WinRT programming yet either.
Given the simplicity of the code, it makes me wonder why Microsoft didn't include more stopgaps like this themselves? Perhaps they didn't want the burden of maintaining these workarounds themselves...
