Well, my understanding was Type:behavior was a bug fix and Type: feature request was a new feature request, which may change some underlying behavior. I thought this issue was on the border.

The robotparser using this might be just one usage indicator, but having this capability in the quote definitely helps. And this could not have been done without changing the signature.

Ideally, this could have gone in 2.7, but I missed it.  Personally, I am still +1 in having this in 2.7.1. Is it undesirable? Does it need wider discussion?
