I'm in complete agreement with Dave.  Roll back the change and have a good
chinwag about environment switching after 1.24.  The minutiae of Branden's
comments are veering dangerously close to angels on the head of pin--if you
catch my drift, Mr. Frodo.

I disagree, but that's me extrapolating the general from the specific.  Even
20 years ago, the documentation was clear enough that I never assumed any such
thing.  The opposite in fact.  The whole point, as it was documented, was to
"reset" things to the default state, hence the need for evc 0 in cases where
that wasn't desirable (which is most cases).  But that is a matter for the
chinwag.
