I don't think we should change anything in the code, so maybe you
shouldn't try.
In general, I find that lately we make too frequently the mistake of
messing with low-level infrastructure for some marginal improvement,
and then have to invest/waste lots of time and releases to deal with
the fallout of unintended consequences, broken use cases, etc. I
intend to object to such changes in the future. This seems just such
a case: a minor annoyance whose "fixing" runs a very real risk of
breaking a lot of important functionalities.
