That's not what you did, you posted a patch claiming that one of the 
existing behaviors had a bug and should be replaced with another one.

That's not what I did, I tried to implement a function that provides 
different possible behaviors corresponding to different needs and 
expectations, not just the behavior you expected.  And I did this based on 
your feedback, what others said on emacs-devel, and my own feelings.  I 
hoped (and thought until today) that the behavior you expected was one of 
them.
