I agree that a revert would be more appropriate.  However, a revert would
be very difficult to accomplish, because there is no easy way to save the
"original" value.  The value is only known in the translation stage as a
context property, so we can't really save the value for use in the parsing
stage.

Right now, the benefit/time ration isn't high enough for me to code the
revert.

I'm fine to have an enhancement request to implement it as a revert,
however.

Thanks,
