I am not sure what the result of this discussion is. As far as I see
Benjamin and Frédéric were opposing and overall it seemed pretty mixed,
so unless you two changed your mind or say that it was just a small
personal preference I would drop it for now.
I obviously think the current behaviour is inconsistent to buggy and am
really only afraid of possibly breaking code out there. Which is why I
think I maybe should first add a FutureWarning if we decide on changing
it.
