tbh, i think that it adds Yet Another Exception Rule to the language, and 
this does no good in the long run. "oh, you generally cannot do that, 
except if today is Friday, it is rainy, and you've seen pink unicorn at the 
morning." the more exceptions to general rules language has, the more it 
reminds Dragon Poker game from Robert Asprin books. any exception will 
usually have a strong rationale behind it, of course, so it will be a 
little reason to not accept it, especially if we had accepted some 
exceptions before. i think it is better to not follow that path, even if 
this one idea looks nice.
