I suppose that I probably wouldn't have chosen this behavior in a green field situation. But Hyrum's law tells us that there are bound to be some number of users relying on it. I don't think that it's worth inconveniencing those people without getting a clear benefit in return. Being lenient here just doesn't have much downside in practice, as evidenced by the total lack of complaints about that lenience. -- Peter Geoghegan
