Emacs's behavior is well-documented and longstanding. It's also wrong,
in that it disagrees with almost every other program and it therefore
confuses users, particularly non-experts.
One possible way out would be to add a user-settable flag to select the
longstanding Emacs behavior, or the behavior of most other programs. We
could document that the default might change in the future. Of course
this approach would have its own problems.
