This one is probably in a grey area, since the feature was explicitly
disabled back in the *very* early days by Jolly, but with a comment
from her that she wasn't sure it was necessary.

If we have a hint of trouble, we can back it out. It sure would be
nice to have Massimo also contribute a patch to the relevant
regression tests ;)
