Christmas comes early this year! :-).

three reasons:
*) it works that way now...a lot of people use this feature for all
kinds of subtle things and the behavior chould change as little as
possible
*) legacy issues aside, I think it's generally better behavior (how
many times do you need to be tapped on the shoulder?)
*) since you can trivially differentiate it (using xid, sequence,
etc), what's the fuss?
