Two reasons:

1) I posted this RFC to raise discussion whether this was worth
pursuing. No need to expend any energy on something that has zero chance
of being accepted by maintainers.

2) More important I have not discovered/attempted to coverage test
lookup_block_symbol to trigger this bug.

I'll be attempting to do that today.
