I agree, and Craig's complaint that this change reduces flexibility
for plugins seems to tilt the balance against it.  I see that Alex
himself accepted that argument in his last message in the thread
(<CACACo5Sm-tY-9YijuLbXmcLmSkYtcTaVQh_1j4tADfjC+1-bCw@mail.gmail.com>).
So let's mark it rejected and move on.
