OK - you and Julian convinced me that this is a feature that I should
have known about. Without test cases or interactivity benchmarks
discussions if this is still a desirable feature are probably useless.
I will revisit the this once test cases materialize or I have time to
think about a benchmark (Not likely anytime soon).
