I have to wonder how much this is going to make things worse in the real
world, although I agree in the "as we already spend cycles for
detect_rename why not" sense.

With the recent change from Alex not to run status when not interactive,
it probably does not matter.  If we are going to spawn an editor, we are
dealing with human interaction and even -B -M should not be too bad.
