FWIW, I don't like this kind of solutions. Emacs should not delegate
to the user the need to resolve its inability to DTRT. User
customization is for selecting from several similarly correct
behaviors, not for fixing misfeatures.
I agree with that principle. If it is possible to make Emacs DTRT in
all cases, we should not propose to cop out by "asking the user to
decide".
