 From my point of view the current behaviour is not very useful, and in 
your example either behaviour seems a bit strange so I would not object to 
it changing.

Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for making lattice available. I

easy (b) aesthetically pleasing (c) revealing about my dataset.
