Please could you do me a favor and use an SVN build / next dev build and report on the level of breakage.

My general attitude to backwards compatibility in a situation like this is:
- Don't break things without a good reason
- If you have to break things, make it as easy as possible to fix the breakage
- Be wary of making things much more complex due to corner case backwards compatibility

I had thought that this only broke corner cases. I'll put more effort into it if I'm wrong, and I'm not against removing the feature if we need to.

Sure, I can drop the next dev build in, not a problem. One app at work in particular would expose any unexpected breakages pretty quickly and would make an excellent test case.
