Comment (by apermo):

 Replying to [comment:1 TimothyBlynJacobs]:
 > Have you tried setting `reassign` to a falsey value like `0` or
 `'false'`? The API requires you to provide/acknowledge the `reassign`
 parameter, but it should not require reassigning.

 No, I haven't tried that.

 So is it by design that you need to set the parameter, and the internal
 API is inconsistent for backwards compatibility reasons? Or why is it
 inconsistent?
