Comment (by karsten):

 Thanks for looking! :)

 But not raising the protocol version to 4.0 feels wrong.  We are changing
 the most important parameter by returning potentially more results than
 previously.  That won't break clients, but it might confuse users.  In a
 way, protocol changes leading to 2.0 and to 3.0 were comparable to this
 one: in both cases we returned potentially more results than before.
 Those are major protocol changes, because clients either need to adapt or
 decide they don't care.  That's different from minor protocol version
 updates which clients can ignore if they wish without even looking.

 I'll keep this as merge_ready until we tag the next release, in which case
 I'll commit a placeholder for version 4.0 and set
 `next_major_version_scheduled` to 1 month later.
