Yeah, I agree. Such a change wouldn't do anything to help with testing
of the standard_conforming_strings = on case. What it would do is
render the s_c_s = off case entirely useless, unless one also disabled
the error, which pretty much every single user would immediately do.
We might as well just flip the s_c_s setting. People who don't want to
be bothered will still undo the setting change, but at least then our
default behavior is more standard rather than even less so.
