What I think we should do instead is just alter the
parser to output things
more intuitively. This move would directly break current usage, BUT ONLY IN
CASES OF *UNEXPECTED OUTPUT*. The breakage would only be on the kinds of
output no one intends ANYWAY.
A lot of people have said that it is all but inevitable that a few
corner cases are going to have to be treated differently than they are
now. Your proposal is just a particular example of that.
