OK, thanks.

I understand, but are there any downsides to making it symmetrical?
My only other comment is that perhaps the consideration of 'regular' when
'medium' was required (or vice versa) should be controlled by a variable
that people could tweak from Lisp. This would help us if this change
causes, or is suspected to cause, some regression in some case.
