The original use case for ACTUAL_URL was to use with anchors, and that's  
why it is a bug, not intentional behaviour. If you want a variable  
*without* the query string (which is by far a much less common use case)  
that's fine - but *that* should be the new variable, not the old one. It  
was even
added in a point release, so the "changing the behaviour" isn't really a  
good argument.

The implementation was not complete in the first version - and I filed a  
bug report on it.
