IMO, if we do anything about this at all, it should be to document the
"=" option not remove it.  If we change it, the squawks from people who
were (perhaps unintentionally) depending on the current behavior will
outnumber the plaudits from people who think that such a change is a
good idea by several orders of magnitude.
