The point remains that we're not enabling anything which we're later going to break. Nobody is going to come to *depend* on this behaviour. And anyway, this behaviour exists even *before* my patches, as Michal pointed out in a far more helpful and constructive fashion in <CACqU3MU4wJb3ij6skod-ZiM+Q0OMTXNdbJ+qWjJW8VZNEP+x1g@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> earlier today.
