While (at times annoyingly :-) inconsistent, changing this breaks API
compatibility and thus I'd really rather not do it, at least not at this
time.

We could go the (still ugly) route of adding a aspo flag and only do it
when that's passed; that would allow new callers to get the benefit
while not breaking older callers.  And if we wanted to keep things
consistent, we could implement the same flag on the other sacks, just
with the different default
