Whether it was intended is not necessarily relevant.  It could be
known long-standing behavior that became a de-facto standard.  Which
is why I think we should call it out.

If you are unwilling to mention this in NEWS, please describe the
change and I will add to NEWS what I think needs to be added.

TIA
