Oh well. It's not like it matters anyway. The only point is that it makes sense to turn it ON or OFF regardless of the platform and that the implementation is unlikely to depend on OS-specific features. Maybe some platforms would like it better one way or another, but the default is a very minor part of the code, and it is extremely unlikely that it will be changed from the current behavior anyway.
