What I was wondering too. I mean, breaking changes just don't 
happen to this language. Now there will be, without even an 
indication of how existing code would have to be rewritten, or 
how this large-scale breakage is different than the breakages 
that just can't happen because reasons. I guess that's why 
there's always the disclaimer, "We'll only break code if there's 
a really good reason." That reason is "in case we want to".
