The behaviour in Emacs 21-27 was unsatisfactory.  Eli and I agreed this
earlier on in this thread, and explicitly agreed the new behaviour would
be different.

That earlier behaviour was agreed to be chaotic, and would be very
difficult to restore without breaking the recent changes in this area.

What, in particular, do you miss from the old behaviour?  If it's something
specific, maybe it would be possible to add it in, somehow.
