Um, it has been around since sometime in version 3. Have you
noticed it before? Has it bothered you?
I think at this point it should be considered a legacy exception.
Getting rid of it is going to break a lot of existing *user* scripts.
Doing that to them for the sake of language elegance hardly sounds
like a good idea to me..
