But if a given style requests a pagination prefix, the bst (or biblatex
cbx) can and should be configured to output that. This is a
prerequisite for portability between different styles (and languages).

The argument for setting it to false was that novices tend to run into
more severe problems if they enter text that is interpreted as a
command and might not know what happens (as opposed to LaTeX
literates).

For people who are used to the current situation, there will certainly
a learning process. But on the other hand, the situation was not very
clear at all, since some dialogs were outputting verbatim texts, some
not, some partially.
