Ok. I see how it does that. I just hope that this has some historical
reasoning relating to different media block sizes.
Not sure if there are any practical purposes for this behaviour.
Treating the letters as multiplicative shortcuts would be more useful to

But I guess for compatibility reasons this cannot be changed.
Thanks for clearing this up.
