If we were designing this on a clean sheet of paper, I'd agree that
what you propose is a better UI, but it's a significant change from
what we have now.  People parsing much more common output--this is
pretty corner-case--will have to make changes.  Do you think it's
"better enough" to break compatibility in the way you propose, forcing
it into 12?

Best,
