FWIW. I first opined that people should just write their own utility function. However, there are enough differences of opinion about the right semantics that I support it being in the standard library now.
Those decisions may or may not be made the way I most prefer, but I think an "official behavior in the edge cases is best to have... I can always implement my own version with different behavior if I need to.
