The proposed change does not appear to add a great deal of value and breaks 
longstanding behavior. In such cases, the preferred approach is usually to 
modify the specification to match the current, albeit incorrect, behavior 
rather than to change the code itself. Given that this issue was filed more 
than two decades ago suggests that changing the implementation would be likely 
to break code which unwittingly depends on the longstanding behavior.

The PR title should be changed to match the JBS issue summary.
