	One more reason for the new features to provide a way for the
	user to opt out, – just in case they turn to be buggy.

	Frankly, I do not consider this feature helpful, and have no
	intent on fixing this particular issue in its implementation.

	If anything, I’d just live with the workaround I’ve provided
	earlier [1].

	The mere fact that bug#19152 was filed suggests otherwise.
