I agree you have a point.

But it is a change in behaviour, and what it makes worse it that it's
an undocumented one. Users who have been doing the same thing for a
decade suddenly find their old scripts are not working any more, and
there it even a hint of what they do now.

If we decide that such a change makes sense, then it must be
explained and documented properly.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
