You'll have to wait for another release to see it, and there is no
documentation for it yet. However for your old behaviour it should
just work as is, without needing any option.  The new option is to
give the new 3.4.10 behaviour instead.  Or, you can run the
3.4-working branch from my git repository if you want to beat the next
release.

This is a nice reminder to write some docs when I get another release
together. :)
