Why are people still using > it in the year 2013?? 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.
