Yes, I understand.  However, seeing that we have gone 6 years with this
never being an issue, I think we should just shoot for #1 and keep open
to the idea of having a compatibility mode, and the possibility that #1
may not fit for all SET variables and we may have to do some special
cases for those.

My guess is that we should implement #1 and see what feedback we get in
7.3.
