Which package is that? (I was going to ask if there is any precedent for
that behaviour in other tools)

I'll attach it to the bug, but currently do not have the time to add it
to the build. (TBH, I need to make sure it still _works_ after all the
scheme API work).

I wrote the script ages ago when someone asked about this functionality,
but it never got included officially because there was not much demand.
I used it for a while, but found the behaviour was more irritating than
helpful.


FWIW, Peter Brett has suggested I go though with the revert, especially
as the behaviour change was not made in a configurable way.

No hard feelings?
