I think this is a really bad idea.  Imagine loading something that adds
functionality to BlockContext that simply makes no sense in BlockClosure or
breaks when compiled on BlockClosure.  Best live with the differences and
upgrade than introduce a horrible hack that pretends to do
backwards-compatibility but actually confuses the hell out of people.
