I find these comparisons to be totally out of the scope of the issue
we're discussing.

Fine, I'll keep the program as-is. I'm tagging the bug as you wish but
am also closing it, there's no need to keep it open. There has never
been a similar report in the 5 years of its existence, so I'm not afraid
of the risk of duplicate reports about it.
