I deserve that criticism. On the other hand, I've pretty much given up on fixing 
std.array.front() because of that. In the last couple days, we also wound up 
annoying a valuable client with some minor breakage with std.json, reiterating 
how important it is to not break code if we can at all avoid it.

Breaking broken code, yes.
