This is on the todo list?  Really?  It seems unlikely to be worth the
backwards-compatibility breakage.  I certainly doubt that we could
get away with unconditionally rejecting such cases with no "off" switch,
as you have here.

That message points out specifically that we *didn't* plan to do this.
Perhaps back then (ten years ago) we could have gotten away with the
compatibility breakage, but now I doubt it.
