This is arrant nonsense. It's a behavior change. You can't make it
not that by claiming something about user expectations. Especially
since this isn't exactly a corner case that nobody has seen in
the fifteen years or so that it's worked like that. People do know
how this works.

I don't object to changing it, but I do agree with Robert that it's
important to quantize such changes, ie, try to get a set of related
changes to appear in the same release. People don't like repeatedly
revising their code for such things.
