This is the core directory walk processing that happens shortly after the

I think that definitely doesn't fly for 2.2 because I think it's quite easy to
end up with a ruleset that works under

Changing the behavior between releases has complications too because you have
to then know where your htaccess is running.

Ultimately I'm just more comfortable A) not regressing anyone with a legacy
ruleset lurking out in htaccess and B) making the choice explicit in the rule
after consulting the doc.
