As explained by Stefano Zacchiroli at [1], in his view there are times where
this is reasonable. Note that IMHO this view doesn't currently jive with the
wording in the Developer's Reference section 5.11.1 [2] so I have asked the
Developer's Reference Team to review Stefano's email to see if it's reasonable
to update this section of the manual.
