Yeah, clearly if we change the semantics, we'll need to go through and
change other callers instead.  But from the principle of least surprise,
that might be worth doing post-beta.  Given that it's grep'able, it
shouldn't be too bad.  Then again, that's the way the method has worked
forever and this is the first time I can think of that we've tripped
over it, so maybe it's less of a problem :)
