Thanks for the example!  I looked briefly in tests/, but didn't immediately
see a regression test that verifies this behavior.  I imagine there is one.  
Anyway, so the task for the intrepid complainer would be to
support the BSD usage while not breaking the usage described
above.  If that's impossible, well, that's that.
