I find it hard to leave that untouched when so many people (even
experienced developers) stumble over the same problem over and over.
So I tend to agree that this needs to be optimized. Adding a constant
that adds the clearer in those two cases seems to be the simplest way.
I am not sure if more will complaint if we change the default behaviour
in future versions, so having that as default=true in compatVersion 4.1
only is also ok for me.
