My recent change (52d209b7d29d) is certainly wrong, but I am not sure
how to fix it yet.
Please note that ANSI-CL and CLtL2 are _not_ the only thing to consider.
If all the other implementations consistently do something reasonable,
then this is the "user expectation" and it makes sense to comply (if
possible).

That's always welcome ;-)

I am not sure this has high enough priority, but it would be nice, I
agree.

Thanks.
