Yes, this is a known behaviour that is suboptimal. What do you expect I
have done to-date? I worked around it. Will my workarounds continue to
work should the behaviour be "corrected"? Again, is there a chorus of
voices complaining about this?

You are most correct. Still, neither is that a reason to make changes.

Well, in principle, that is a good thing. All I really ask is that
you present your changes in a way that clearly shows how the behaviour
will be modified (or prove that it won't be changed). It appears that
there is now some discussion and documentation occuring around that
point and that is far more acceptable than a patch to a sensitive area
that merely purports to be an improvement without providing even test
cases let alone a thorough examination of the issues.
