I don't think it's worth changing long-standing behavior, no.
But showing it as an example that people may then follow is
another issue.

The problem is that it's blunt because it applies equally to all
markers/overlays.  It's almost always the case that it's much better to
use `insert` and rely on your markers's insertion-type to control
the behavior.
