The code for the above functionality is about 10-12 lines of C of the whole 
patch.

If there's concensus to remove it, I'll gladly prepare a patch that doesn't 
contain this, but I don't think it's sensible to do so just because it makes 
the code shorter. But, the "best guess" functionality most certainly is 
debatable on other grounds.
