There's a lot of sensitivity in the compiler to exactly how and which rules
are specified. I already brought up this regression with Dan a few weeks
ago, and we didn't come up with a good way to deal with it. I don't think
it's quite fair to call it a compiler problem, so much as just a change
that caused a previously-good-but-fragile behaviour to now not be so good.
