I think "yes" for all three. There was some handwaving about someone
maybe not wanting it, but an utter lack of convincing use-cases; so
I see no point in going to the effort of providing a switch.

Note that 2 and 3 are actually the same thing (if you think they are
not, then you are putting the behavior in the wrong place).
