I like the RFC, however I do not like this behavior.
This would behave differently then how current weak/strict mode works.

I was never a fan of the weak mode to begin with, but now introducing
something which deals in the area of argument passing and not behaving
to what a 2/3 majority agreed is IMHO a no-go. The current RFC does not
even mention that.

Maybe it's not feasible anyway, but in any case I'm missing
input/discussion in this area.
