[ shrug... ] There is no proposed patch, nor has anyone offered to create
one, so that's an unanswerable question at the moment. If we had a patch
we could evaluate how invasive it is and how big the behavioral change
would be exactly, and then decide whether to back-patch. But my suspicion
is that we would not back-patch, but only change it in the next major
release. This is the sort of thing where somebody might be relying on the
current behavior as "correct" and not be happy if it changes under them in
a minor release.
