I think backwards compatibility probably trumps that argument. I have
no objection to providing a different call that behaves this way, but
changing the behavior of existing applications will face a *much*
higher barrier to acceptance. Especially since a real use-case for
the current behavior was shown upthread, which means you can't argue
that it's simply a bug.
