Now that I think about it, I'm not sure whether it was done "by design" from
the beginning, but it is definitely considered a feature today; see e.g.:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10997#13>
Should I adjust the wording to remove the "by design" designation, or is
that overkill? I will push by this evening if there's no answer by then.
