Ah, but then the *feature* keyword - which is only going to be needed
temporarily until it's fixed - becomes a permanent part of the interface...

If it's broken, let's just disable it (#define-style) until it gets fixed.
(And only if it doesn't get fixed in a reasonable amount of time, remove the
code.)
