Not recommended unless you can convince Pavel or the next maintainer to do it.

Since this reverses the programming VALUE for this builtin you will create a
situation where any code written to support this understanding of the value
of "client-echo" will fail on any other server that has not made this change.

The manual states plainly the WON'T ECHO has a true value and WILL ECHO is
false.
