Comment (by kcrisman):
Slipped in under the radar! This is **nowhere documented** (I do not
count the `usage` function because that only shows up if one puts in too
many arguments, not "too few"), there is no Trac number in the commit (I
still do not understand why this is not considered a serious regression
for ordinary people trying to find out when things happened), and I'll
point out that http://ask.sagemath.org/question/7979/exact-syntax-for-
bdist/ also now is obsolete. The only place where `bdist` is even
mentioned in the documentation is
http://sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html?highlight=bdist and that
still has the old syntax. But this is a backwards-incompatible change
which just wasted a lot of my time.
