My own feeling is that this level of hand-holding is unnecessary, at
least until we a discover a good number of real-world cases in which
people are baffled by how to deal with this situation. Adding the
advice seems simple on the surface, but every new piece of advice
means having to add yet another configuration variable, writing more
code, more tests, and more documentation, and it needs to be
maintained for the life of the project. So what seems simple at first
glance, can end up being costly in terms of developer resources. For a
bit of advice which doesn't seem to be needed by anyone (yet), all
that effort seem unwarranted. Thus, my preference is to see the patch
dropped.
That's Ok. We can drop it.

Thanks,
