I've held off this patch for a while since I think its going to
*really* annoy a subset of users and as Chris says, it can't
be disabled. It would really need to be disablable through configuration
and at runtime when sourcing the script which isn't possible.

I appreciate the usability issue it is trying to improve but
I think it will cause more complaints than issues it solves.
As such I don't think we want to do this...

Cheers,

Richard
