Yes you can.  Since nothing except 6.12 has 'rec', you can use 'mdo'.  If you 
don't want the deprecation warning use -fno-warn-deprecations.

Of course *any* feature removal is going to lead to programs that used to work 
not working any more.  I don't see how to avoid that, except by keeping all 
features forever.  We can keep mdo as long as necessary, I suppose, but I'd 
like some mechanism to gently encourage people to the rec syntax, which is what 
the deprecation warning should do.
