Yes, if we can, we should. But I am not implying any kind of priority
about it. Relaxing a constraint that is already present since long ago
is not the same thing as adding a new constraint.

All APIs are full of constraints. It is a matter of balance between
how hard it is for the application to meet the constraint versus
how hard it is for the library to drop the constraint.

Because there was too much of what I perceived as bikeshedding. But feel
free to take over the patch: technically, it was finished, working,
passing FATE, etc. It just needs pushing.

I realize that. But when API is concerned, taking the easier path for
the developer comes second after trying to make the API more convenient.
