Comment:

 Thanks for the bug report!

 I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think this is a viable
 change. Naturally, we can't change the default behaviour, so the only
 other option is add an extra `$output` parameter. Plugins wanting to use
 this new parameter would still need to maintain backwards compatibility
 for old versions of WordPress, which would increase their code complexity.
