I think that could make some existing programs fail to compile.

I've broken existing programs only in cases where I saw no other way
to add new functionality, and kept in mind that for those cases,
users would want to compile/run the same source with different versions.

agreed.  But changing the API doesn't add functionality (the ABI changes
that I have in mind do _that_).
