Actually - now that I think about it may be a good idea that it works as it
does now. Old copy books and all that.

However I sometimes think that backwards compatibility (as is the reason for
why this has been designed this way) is not always a good thing.

On other platforms developers are forced to bring the code up to new
standards "or else". Much easier to motivate management to cough up the
funds to keep the applications modern.

I have seen some RPG-II style code recently that literally made me
shudder...
