I am happy to *rule* that we can treat it as a bugfix, but I disagree
that it's *clearly* a bugfix. It's definitely debatable. This area of
the language is so obscure and so few people remember why it was done
the way that it's done that I expect that someone out there will be
unhappy about the change. But... change happens, so it's okay.
