While I'm usually all for preserving BC in this case I think removing the inconsistency is better and the use case is weird enough that it makes little sense to implicitly support it. Given that we have options with both filter and hexdec _and_ casts do not support it, I think this RFC would do the right thing. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
