Agree. Personally, I'm not a big fan of system properties. They have their
place of course, and are good for workarounds where the API can't be changed,
or you can't or don't want to change your application. In hindsight I think I
should have initially added an API to control this behavior on a per signature
basis. I think adding a static method to toggle this behavior could cause more
harm than good.

So what I'll do is leave this open to add a method on a per Signature basis, as
that seems easy enough to add for the next release.
