Yes.  For me, the important part is that the age-old behavior will
change.  We have no idea how many users will like it and how many
won't.  In particular, the new behavior that moves point where it
previously didn't might annoy people who intend to type after the
click.  Thus, my preference is to make this an opt-in change.  Perhaps
with time, if we hear many users asking this to be the default, we
will reverse the default value.

Thanks.
