Do you have something else in mind? I'll talk with Martin about it if
he still wants to. Martin, this miserable code must die!
That's fine with me. I meant what I said: "I'm not certain". The patch
original claimed that it cannot possibly preserve this feature, and
I felt that this claim was incorrect - indeed, Evan then understood
the feature, and made it possible.
I can personally accept breaking the code that still relies on the
invalid APIs. The only problem is that it is really hard to determine
whether some code *does* violate the API usage.

Martin
