Possibly.  Another way would be to keep its API as-is and introduce a
different function name for the other behavior.  I would think that
we'd always know for any given caller which behavior we need, so a
flag as such isn't notationally helpful.

Yes, that seemed like a pretty horrid idea when I read your description,
but I hadn't got round to looking at just how awful it might be.
