I don't think this difference matters very much either way.
Since both options have justifications, I'm sure some people will want
to keep the current behavior, so either we'll have to annoy them, or
introduce a config var, which will make the code yet a bit more hairy in
this respect.

If someone wants to submit a patch to change that, we will consider it,
but I doubt you'll find someone motivated enough to tweak this
little detail.
