Compiler recompileAll will transcript the ambiguous constructs already.
If you want, that would be useful to avoid spreading my initials
everywhere (I hate spreading, at least when I add no value).

Agree about Preferences for accepting incompatible syntax : it is poisonous.
This preference would be usefull only to load old packages, but risk
to be abused to write non conforming code.

Personnally, I want the warning. It's so easy to get bitten by ^x/-2...
It would be good to have a Preference for the warning.
