More to the point, it takes a capability away from the user without
actually solving the problem we need to solve, namely to guarantee
consistency between parent and child constraints. You can be sure
that there is someone out there who will complain that we've broken
his application when we disallow this, and we need to be able to
point to some positive benefit we got from it.
