------------------------------------
That's clear for cases where classes are used programmatically. In this case,
however, it was a command line interface that caused the issue. I am not sure
how we can effectively mark and inform users of the stability of command line
interfaces. I think users expect command line interfaces to be more stable or
backward compatible than API.
