Right, that's what implements the change in behavior.

I argued at the time that there should be an option to let it run with
some other search path, with the security implications being on the user's
head to worry about.  I lost that argument, but I still think that we're
going to have to provide such a feature.  Lately we've been seeing about
one complaint a week about this, as uptake of the locked-down versions
increases.
