This doesn't match my recollection of the previous discussion on this
topic. I am not sure that I'd call it a bug, but I'd definitely like
to see it fixed, and I think I mentioned that previously, though I
don't have the email in front ATM. I am also not aware that anyone
other than yourself has opined that we should not worry about fixing
it, although I might be wrong about that too. At any rate, "clearly
not a priority" seems like an overstatement relative to my memory of
that conversation.
