I am dead tired by now.  I lean towards restoring the old behavior in  
2.16.1 (namely shift for even line-count without line-positions, do nothing  
otherwise), and use 0 consistently in 2.17.  If we get no complaints for  
2.17 behavior for a reasonably long time, we might make that standard  
behavior.  But I would want to avoid too much bouncing back and forth in  
the stable releases, in case a better rationale for the original change  
turns up in user feedback.

That is not as much solving things as it is resolving them.

Somehow a quote from Catch-22 seems appropriate:

"No, sir." "Don't sir me!" "Yes, sir." "And say 'sir' when you don't,"  
ordered Major Metcalf.
