        One more reason for the new features to provide a way for the
        user to opt out, – just in case they turn to be buggy.

        Frankly, I do not consider this feature helpful, and have no
        intent on fixing this particular issue in its implementation.

        If anything, I’d just live with the workaround I’ve provided
        earlier [1].

        The mere fact that bug#19152 was filed suggests otherwise.
