I think that, as long as we gain in consistency, we do. The special
casing of "id" is a wart of the current parser and the less it shows
that "id" is treated specially, the best.
Deprecating or downright rejecting working combinations is always
walking a fine line, but here we're almost in https://xkcd.com/1172/
territory.
