Why?
Did you find some documentation indicating that this is how it should work?
Or is it the behavior you'd prefer, and if so, can you explain why you'd
prefer that behavior?  Which concrete cases do you specifically care about?

The current behavior has been in use for *many* years and I expect that
a fair bit of code relies on it, so we'd need a really good reason to
change it.  Maybe we can accommodate your specific concrete cases in
some other way.
