No. I pulled the three other commits, but not that last one.
That feature just seems to actively *encourage* backwards incompatible
features. It's a bad idea. Don't do it. If we've been able to do
without it so far, then why should we suddenly start doing things like
this?
So I don't agree that it should have been there since day one, it just
shouldn't exist at all.
