I don't know where you've got that from. - I was merely suggesting
an IMO sensible and compatible change of a function in a way other
functions (standard and non-standard) have already been extended.
I think it belongs in the core and I was suggesting and discussing
that.

If the relevant official developers don't think so then it is as it
is and they may just ignore my suggestion. I have no stakes in GNU
Awk, only (maybe academical) interest, so I even don't really care
much beyond that.
