I suppose that I probably wouldn't have chosen this behavior in a
green field situation. But Hyrum's law tells us that there are bound
to be some number of users relying on it. I don't think that it's
worth inconveniencing those people without getting a clear benefit in
return.
Being lenient here just doesn't have much downside in practice, as
evidenced by the total lack of complaints about that lenience.
