It adds nothing to the language or functionality and would break a lot of code. It should be fixed to be compatible with previous versions.I have to agree, it is purely a cosmetic change. "Renaming" the argument can make the purists happier. However, as a counter argument, a quick search in codesearch/koders show that very few people rely on this behavior.
