Good example of what I would call laziness -- other would call it =
hacking I guess. Either way, the solution we have now is permitting some =
exotic setups, but is fragile and is not consistent. Most of the useful =
features are actually side effects of the hack.

If it should remain this way, a warning in the documentation and at =
runtime is very helpful.
