I'm tempted to support such a proposal. Is this something that we'd
want to do for 8.2? There are some interval range checking fixes I'm
working on for 8.3. Perhaps this could be rolled into that as well?
Then again, range checking and behavior are two separate things.
Considering how late it is in the cycle, perhaps the change in
behavior should come in 8.3.
