Nope, probably not. But they wouldn't have to ask if it were GCC, because those 
paths work there. This is why I kept it simple. This patch is not trying to do 
clever things, just meant to reduce what you seem to want reduced. If you 
decided to add it, that MIGHT stop those questions in future. No way to be sure 
it won't cause others but they'd be fewer, and come from people who'd 
progressed far enough to ask more interesting questions.
