Patrick,
I'm also not happy with the change. For me, the incompatibility/benefit ratio is
big, but I have to find a way to live with it.

Perhaps I am not clear on the motive for the change, but if it is
just that y is shorter than y. and thus more elegant in a way, then
you are saying that for this y, most often used only once in a verb
definition, we pay by typing yy everywhere. And since I often use xx
as well as x, I guess they all become xxx ? The . marked these as
special so one didn't have to be aware of these issues.
