that's reasonable, except it is not okay to call routines in star/private from run_stars_extra.
so you'd want to look in star/public/star_lib to see if there is a public routine that in turn will call show_phase_of_evolution.
but alas, there isn't such a routine in star_lib.

now one can be an archeologist and look back into ancient versions to see when show_phase_of_evolution became redundant.

there are certainly other such pieces of code left around in mesa that were useful once, but not any more.

like my attic, it could stand a good cleaning.
