WHINY_USERS=0

I was making some WHINY_USERS performance tests, following the example at 
http://awk.info/?tip/whinyUsers

It looks to me that not only WHINY_USERS=1, but also WHINY_USERS=0 or even 
WHINY_USERS=  are leading to sorted processing of arrays. I have to actually 
unset WHINY_USERS in order to get back to default array processing. The 
corresponding test in AWK source code (main.c) is:

        if (getenv("WHINY_USERS") != NULL)
                whiny_users = TRUE;

I am wondering if this is rather a feature or something else?

Regards, Hermann
