Backwards compatibility makes old reference works valid. Breaking it increases the work needed to learn the language.
Removing x. and y. when introducing x and y is one example of breaking backwards compatibility. Another example is require 'general/misc/prompt' where in older versions off J this was: require'misc' So here's the question: what are we doing to unbreak the breakages caused by these sorts of changes?
