Hi,
there are reports about this (don't know their # though).
Am I the only who thinks that documenting such a change of
the behaviour of a function is important?
And if it's like you said, then it just is that way. Nothing
is more painful for a user to find out a function now behaves
differently without a note why and since when. There's no
harm done, I only can see a benefit.
