I must say I agree with Stefan (or at least for now).  I started
working on the second variant (forcing the flag "on" for tests), and
not only I've found out that the tests themselves (not talking about
the outputs) are not adapted to that, but even though it's still not
fully fixed, I already have a diff of 1051(+), 1014(-).

I can finish it or at least share somewhere if someone else wants to
continue.
