Actually, I don't think 'replace with itself' should be an error. I've
only meant that lack of this possibility shouldn't be necessarily seen
as error - there could be arguments for both sides.

IMHO, there should be simply analyzed pros and cons of doing it in
this particular place, so: if there is any gain in doing this, and if
possible complications or problems with performance, security etc.
don't prevail such a gain.

And I don't think a regression argument should be valid at all if
there are removed any unlogical, error-prone or otherwise problematic
options (I don't know if this is such case), even if they are not
obvious bugs - especially if it's still possible to do the same
'proper' way.
