Maybe you'd like to report an issue with the Standard then, because the
Standard doesn't use your definition of "slightly inconvenient" so must be
wrong:

"-2- These are deprecated features, where deprecated is deïned as: Normative
for the current edition of the Standard, but not guaranteed to be part of the
Standard in future revisions."


The old binders have been superseded by better features. There is no good
reason to use them, and "fixing" them to be non-standard would be a waste of
time.
