Yeah, I think this makes sense.

I actually wonder why we thought that the way 76759c7d (git on Mac
OS and precomposed unicode, 2012-07-08) did "add the variable to the
config but do not enable" was a good idea.  If I recall correctly,
the justification was "that way the users will not be suddenly
affected by the behaviour change, but can notice an unfamiliar
variable in their configuration and flip it as needed"; I said that
it did not make sense to me ($gmane/188940) back then and now I
think with this patch we are in agreement ;-).

This test is very conservative in that only a successful access()
will flip the bit; I like it.

Will queue.  Thanks.
