I was saying that I'm not sure it is a bug so I sided with preserving behavior instead.

If it is indeed a bug we should fix it, and I'm trying to determine whether it actually is a bug here, and what the best solution is.

If there is a bug and we should die, should we also introduce a "_gently()" variant of these functions and thus fail properly if they don't work so that we can report an error in producing a diff instead of die()ing?

Thanks, Jake
