Please don't jump to writing code yet.  We need to decide what should be done 
first.  

I'm not really excited about making a change at all.  No users seem to have 
ever been affected by this.  The CPython code matches what it is documented to 
do (by the pure python code in the documentation).  In a way, it is just an 
obscure implementation artifact.

If we do make a small change, I would like it to be 3.7 only.  No need to risk 
breaking existing code for something that technically isn't even a bug (because 
it matches the documentation).  As the title suggests, it is more of an oddity 
than anything else.
