Yeah. ICEs are never added on purpose, and if they are, the compiler dev who
did it screwed up royally, but it's not that hard to accidentally break
something when changing something else (which is why we have the test suite to
catch most of that stuff and the beta releases to try and catch what the test
suite misses).

Now, as for the code, I would have thought that it would work, and if it
doesn't, and that's purposeful, I have no idea what the reason would be.
Certainly, I agree that if it doesn't work, it's an annoying change, even if it
has a proper error message.
