Hmm. That's great for existing 1.0 code that is compiled with the newer 
compiler but, as you point out, not so good for people developing new code 
and who wish to conform to the 1.0 definition of the language. I wouldn't 
want the compiler to accept a feature that was post-1.0 that I accidently 
used.
