Yes I know and that's not so good but I think that, if we happen to agree the current behavior could be improved, at some point in time (next major version perhaps) we may choose to break that in order to have a smarter behavior. So not in 2.4.x but maybe for 2.5+ or, better, 3.x versions that would be (IMHO) a nice API improvement. Tommaso > > --Thilo > > >
