I think it is good to make sure it behaves the same on all systems.
However, I think the behaviour should become what currently is the shift
behaviour on the platform with our largest userbase: Linux on AMD64 with
GCC.
There is no reason to penalise people that well might have relied on
some "odd" behaviour - possible even with good reasons.
