There is another good reason not mentioned on that page: You can use normal names to specify locales (eg. name__y) but you can't do that with primitives (eg. name__y. is a spelling error) Also, corresponding global names (although discouraged) can still be easily accessed via y__ etc. so even though the change is not compatible, it doesn't remove any functionality. -- Mark D.
