It's too late for me to think technically about it, but you're right, 
something to keep this behavior would be nice. I don't know wether the 
standard has a notion about such behavior, too (have to look at it).

Note that a possible solution obviously has to allow the old behavior, so 
in the first place this behavior can be easily restored.
