It's not what I desire: I don't want erroneous records in the factotum
database and I fail to see why anyone else would.  It solves a
non-existent problem, as deleting the record has the same effect.

Ugliness?  Note that the record is the most recently added record, so
the sequence is not affected.

But factotum always did that, and it's precisely what I would do
manually.  As I mentioned, the sequence is not altered, nor should it
really matter if it was altered.
