    FWIW, I do. And it does more than add confusion: it raises a shaggy mane
    against Occam's Razor.

I don't think it is useful to argue about this.  The way I plan to
deal with this issue is based on whether there is any general pattern
of usage of these keys in other apps.  (That's why I asked.)
Unless there is one, I'm going to leave these undefined.

Anyway, now is not the time to change it.
