It's possible that AI will be somewhat confused from this, making some wrong
decisions. It's certainly not a blocker for the patch, as it's imho not sane to
want someone to change this assumption in the current code :). It would be
however nice to add a small note at the bottom of TODO or README.AI about
needing to fix this when the code will be more clean and someone'll be bored.
