Just make it opt in at the module level and have the opposite 
attributes added. I suggest:

@strict module foo;


And that little @strict (or whatever name) thing indicates you 
want newer stuff for the entire module.

No breakage, no community split, very little hassle. Javascript 
has had a fair amount of success with opt in stuff like this.
