Was this ever even documented?  Is it worth being so careful?  We
could rip out the functionality now, replacing it with a warning, and
lose the warning in 2.3.  Or we could just rip it out now, and always
enable the -t option.  (Hm, that should be unified with the warnings
framework, although I'm not sure how easy that will be.)
