Yes, go ahead with 3.2 patch. It should not go into 2.7, though,
since it doesn't solve any problems in 2.7.

If we get complaints about the -b option than we can add a work-around,
but I doubt that we will. It would be good if you could add a test
case for this, since without -b support, the function won't give
an error: it will simply use the defaults.
