Question: Why is save_order False by default? #118

Closed

Description

@jdevera

I was trying to understand the meaning of save_order better and I see that it can skip some long words when they will not fit whole within max_length. I'm very curious about why this is the default behaviour.

    Things have been added over years. Have a look at the code, for the behavior, especially where the params are passed in, we have description of each arg.

    I played around with it enough to understand what it does, and it seemed "interesting" to have a feature but I was surprised it was default behaviour.

    Evolving software sometimes start with things that don't make sense many years later. Minimally we have ability to on/off things.

    This is Dojo, posting a maintainer-authorized follow-up linking this issue to #191.

    save_order remains False by default to preserve existing outputs. The behavior is documented rather than silently changing the default.

    The default algorithm remains legacy; improved output rules are opt-in. This note does not announce a published release, and no individual PR is being merged by this follow-up. Thank you for the contribution and discussion.
