Even if the behaviour is intentional, there is possibly still a bug.
This worked find on my own machine but failed on others so the implicit
ordering of something somewhere seems to matter.

I need is in some places tho', and if it's used anywhere in a program,
it takes over the binding everywhere and seems to become implicitly
available everywhere.
