hm, this means that you tell users only how to switch to the old frontend,
but once they have done so, they (now) won't get told (anymore) how to
switch back, again ...
... maybe not that handy --- and for XQuery, the "old" backend is both still
available and still required for some functionality ...
Hence, IMHO
(1) "-G" / "-g" and "\G" / "\g" make only sense as pairs, i.e., to switch
back and forth, i.e., removing one does not make (much) sense; and
(2) XQuery still requires both for the time being.
Thus, if we don't need either for SQL any more, we should remove the
documentation (and functionality) of both switches only for SQL, but not for
XQuery --- and if we do so, we should do this everywhere, i.e., not only
with mclient, but also with Mserver/mserver5, MonetDB.conf/monetdb5.conf,
Mtest.py and the wbe site --- well, lacking branches, the latter can only be
done once we have a new feature release in about 3 month from now ...
