 Yes, this behaviour is expected. Or did I miss something?

 I don't really see any reason to do this, what's the harm in keeping it?
This change would break the existing code silently (you can't ensure that
the code using this feature would generate compilation warnings or errors)
and this is the worst kind of breakage possible so there should be really a
very good reason to do it.

 If you can write and test a (presumably very simple) patch needed to do
this, I'd be glad to apply it.

 TIA,
