Frankly, I'd be happy to consider this a bug fix either way. The timing
is compatible with 7.2, and I'm happy that Bruce is bringing this to
resolution. My point was simply that some discussion on -hackers is
appropriate, and that others on -hackers who might have a stake in this
should be in on the discussion.

fwiw, I don't have a strong opinion about *which* path is taken to fix
the problem. But the old implementation is the worst of all worlds, and
the replacement syntax which is already in the code is a better choice.
