Sounds like a breaking change to me. Which will include the
usual complains.
... and not breaking it will include the same complaints years
from now for not fixing it.

Clarification: I realize nothing is broken, so no "fixing" is
needed. But it seems like a nice improvement.
Well, it _does_ follow the language spec, so it's not broken in
that sense, but it's a broken design IMHO in that it causes
confusion and bugs, and it has resulted in complaints in the past
and will continue to do so until it's changed. So, I do think
that it's true that there will ultimately be fewer complaints if
we make the change than there will be if we don't.
