Yup, I got that ;-).
While these seem like good changes in the long run, I'm concerned about
breaking existing client apps wholesale. Is it feasible to have a
backwards-compatibility mode? I wouldn't even insist that it be the
default behavior --- but adding a one-line "set backwards-compatible
mode" kind of call seems better than major rewrites, for apps that
depend on the old behavior.
