--canonicalize is not strict. --canonicalize-existing is most strict and --canonicalize-missing is least strict. When you have a function which have non-strict behavior (--canonicalize), you can implement a wrapper with strict behavior (--canonicalize-existing), but not vice verse.

Yes, I meant --canonicalize should be the default.
