It extends the ABI, therefore isn't suited to 1.5.x. We can't add a new function entry point which would cause a program linked to 1.5.2 to fail to load under 1.5.0. The ABI's remain identical except for actual damage/bug mitigation. It doesn't break the ABI and appears to be forward-compatible, so it looks suitable for trunk and also for 1.6.x.
