I'm fairly sure that the ship for this has sailed, we've had this “issue” for a
year now.
I guess during that year everyone has adapted their code to the new behavior.
So if you're reading this comment and you think that the ticket should be
closed, please just mark it as ｢testneeded｣ so that we have the new behavior
cast in stone. And that'll be it.
