I _might_ have an application case for when that is not good:
think of phpBB web fora, where you can submit some content, and then
get a message that you must wait X seconds before submitting again
(as a rate limiter), where you can just press ^R to do that.

How about looking at the origin of the link? If it’s from an <a> tag,
use GET unconditionally. That seems to be the most natural solution
to me. If that’s possible from the code, that is.
