Yes, there have been repeated discussions in this group about changing 
that behavior, it created pernicious long-distance dependencies (someone 
would pass a slice to someone else, and they'd start trampling into the 
caller's data. For a while it seemed there would be no reasonable 
solution, until we finally figured the whole capacity caching thing.
