It's always worked like that, except for the buggy behavior when it comes to
merged cells. If the behavior had been _consistent_, then you could make the
"this is how it's always worked argument"

The rationale for the change has been explained in multiple comments. The
arguments against seem to be:

1. Generally prefer no-change in behavior to change.
2. Microsoft Office has the same behavior is we do right now.

These two arguments are not without merit, but they are meta-arguments rather
than concrete ones. I find they are trumped by the arguments for the change.

That being said - this is a candidate for another MS Office compatibility
toggle.
