My usual stance is the same as yours, and I agree that there is no
other sane and useful behaviour for "relative-local" to do the same
as "relative".

As we'll go into pre-release feature freeze soonish, we have enough
time to add missing support to the code (the new feature won't have
to make the upcoming 2.6 wait).

Thanks.
