FWIW I am uncomfortable with fixing this right away, since there might
be code which inadvertently relies on this. There is no question in my
mind about *whether* this ought to be fixed, since if there is any code
that depends on this bug, then with 100% certainty there is much more
code which expects this *not* to happen, which is therefore currently
broken (actively or passively). But I’d want to add a warning here first
to see what creepy-crawlies we scare out of their hiding places, if any,
and then take it from there.
