Mark Waddingham told me a while back that he didn't like that behavior 
so he changed it, but that it will fail unless you know exactly what 
you're doing, so he didn't update the dictionary.

Which is a way of saying, sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't. 
He didn't say what would fail, so I usually just avoid changing anything.
