Yes, sorry, I should not have asked like that. I get a little bit upset
that many people here accept defaults that can make it harder for
newbees just for a little bit convenience. (But I guess I am a bit
unfair. Someone more in favour of the view opposite to mine in this
question can surely put it more nicely.)
Of course I can see that the behaviour you want saves you a lot of key
strokes. My question is really about the default value. You can easily
change that, of course. The question is really if you prefer the old
default and in that case what arguments you want to present for that.
