Actually, I don't think 'replace with itself' should be an error. I've only meant that lack of this possibility shouldn't be necessarily seen as error - there could be arguments for both sides. IMHO, there should be simply analyzed pros and cons of doing it in this particular place, so: if there is any gain in doing this, and if possible complications or problems with performance, security etc. don't prevail such a gain. And I don't think a regression argument should be valid at all if there are removed any unlogical, error-prone or otherwise problematic options (I don't know if this is such case), even if they are not obvious bugs - especially if it's still possible to do the same 'proper' way.
