It seems GetMultilinePage's get_value also has a call to get_text without
the extra parameter, but a grep for GetMultilinePage only shows the class
definition, with no uses... deletion candidate? From what I can tell, it
was added in 3739eb89aa, but even then it wasn't being used by anything?
Anyway, if it needs to stay, the extra True needs to be added to it too.
