Reverts #7632 in order to allow us to issue a minor rather than a major point release.
Also I'm just not convinced that the busy-work it'll create for our users is necessarily in our interests, even if it does add an extra safety rail against one particular type of broken usage. (Is the trade off between the work it'll create vs. the edge case wiggliness it helps guard against, a good one or not - hard to say.)
Anyways at this point I'm just issuing the PR to check if it still passes the test suite once reverted. A starting point for figuring out what our options are here.
