Thanks.  Now I see how the difference comes about, and how to change the
code to make it uniform.  I still have no idea what rationale there ever
might have been for the current behavior.

Moreover, nobody has offered any opinions on whether it ought to change
and, if so, in which direction.  Am I the only one who cares either way?


Thanks,
Roland
