Good ones. In fact I even discounted them from this discussion because 
I'd already considered them gone. Walter agreed that I don't mention 
them in TDPL, with the intent to have them peter out.

One good step right now would be to remove NCEG operators from the 
online documentation. Later on, we'll consider them an accept-invalid 
bug :o).
