Does it need to be? I don't see a reason for anyone to go out of their 
way to make the implementation inconsistent. Do you? The principal of 
least astonishment means that the least astonishing path is chosen. In 
this case, the least astonishing path has been chosen. Does it need 
documenting for you to believe it?

But my larger beef with your statement is that you assume D opts never 
to take that path, which is absolutely untrue.
