me too.
Maybe it is easier to take the risk now as the next foreseen release is
4.0 and we can more easily correct any mistakes.

I think some are harmless (e.g. changed parameter type from Vector to
its superclass Point), but others seem to be not bc.

I do not want to stress people. If you think it is worth to include it
