Yes, it is a hack, but it would give people pause when trying to use the feature, i.e. to think twice. And, to me, it makes sense to encode/acknowledge this kind of thing explicitly anyway. So if that would unblock this and reduce the chance of repeating mistakes of the past, then we can easily do that too. Cheers, Miguel
