I think that at this point, most of the core developers think that
auto-decoding was a mistake, but fixing it would definitely be a bit of a
mess, and whenever it comes up, Andrei complains that we need to focus on
other things and that we're blowing it out of proportion. :|

I think that the auto-decoding was well-intentioned and an interesting
experiment, but ultimately, it's causing too many problems...
