The right fix is to change that behavior in the C front end the same

How much of a can of worms is doing it this way?
It took me a day or two to make the changes, and there were a few bugs
that trickled in over the next couple of weeks.
OK, thanks. Given that, it's very likely that trying to do as you
suggest is
going to introduce regressions. Do you say this is "right" for some
reason
besides aesthetics? If not, I suggest my patch be accepted; it does
after all
fix the problem, and is not at all likely to introduce regressions (a
factor
that comes into my definition of "right").
