I think it is good to make sure it behaves the same on all systems.

However, I think the behaviour should become what currently is the shift 
behaviour on the platform with our largest userbase: Linux on AMD64 with 
GCC.

There is no reason to penalise people that well might have relied on 
some "odd" behaviour - possible even with good reasons.
