Fair. I'm on the side of keeping the "K:'' behavior the way it is and
that's why I'm proposing adding "D:" to provide a more granular
content matching type operating strictly on patches. It's purely
opt-in.
The patch I linked mentioned steering folks away from using
tree files but not necessarily removing the behavior.
