I agree it is incompatible, however it was a conscious decision to get rid of the inconsistency we had around various places for these types of arguments. If there is strong opposition to this change, then I can mangle the interface to allow for the old, but IMHO bad, default of the monitor. > Help should be updated in the same patch; please squash 6/7 into 5/7.
