I don't see it as a regression in any case, since the behavior has
been the same for a long time now.
This change can maybe go on the default branch, but first think about
whether it introduces potential compatibility problems with Matlab's
polyfit function. If so, then we should think carefully about whether
we want the change as default behavior.
