Yes, thanks. This is in fact what prompted me looking at it. I think
we can probably do a bit better by default even without adding a new
kind of flags. But it'll require a (hopefully small) change to the
solver, and as it's a heuristic, there's always a risk some other
situations might get worse.

Cheers,
