agree, while a cool feature for power users is not so important for general use.

Actually there is a much more important regression in gdal tools
(Processing equivalent tools not affected) that would make sense  to
be eventually addressed if gdal tools is not being removed from
lts/2.18: in recent qgis versions new numeric/integer fields created
with the QGIS field calculator are *not* recognized in tools like gdal
rasterize (a very, very common operation).

cheers
