Could be. Dunno.
Still calls out for a better argument than a vague
opinion that such a change adding incompatibility
would be "more convenient". That's all.
The commands have different uses. Their behavior
has long been different in this regard. What's a
great argument for making this change? That's the
question.
As I said:
It's a reasonable proposal to examine. And it
might be the right thing to do.
PP eval is not non-PP eval, and "more convenient"
isn't a strong argument when the increment of
"more" isn't large.
When introducing backward-incompatible behavior
maybe other, stronger arguments would help.
