Hm.  FWIW, I wasn't even aware of that option.

If it is not so appropriate now (or ever?), why not tweak the doc string to
suggest that?  Reading the doc string, you can easily get the impression that
you might want this to be non-nil.

IOW, if you wonder why people are still using this in 2013, maybe take a look at
what Emacs tells users about it.
