Actually, as a fix for the [0] issue, why not provide, e.g. a getExitStubs1() - note the '1' suffix - for those few messed up cases and correct the index issue in them. Going forward we can document these case and direct new users to them, pointing out way we haven't changed the originals to preserve functionality.
