I am too actually. From your earlier messages, Martin, I thought you said we would add it as a warning? Has that been done for 2.066.1? I didn't see it in my github traffic.

FWIW, I think a warning is sufficient, even if it only lasts a few versions. As long as silent behavior changes do not happen.

Note, this is kind of crappy because in 2.065 I think, we required opCmp for AA keys, in a way that just made people re-implement the default opCmp (not a good requirement). Then we added another error that said "you can't just implement opCmp, dummy!" and so it's like we can't make up our mind. Unfortunately, the two changes were coincidental and not done by the same group, so the apparent flip flopping was not so apparent to us doing the latter changes.

I so cannot wait until AA are fully library-defined with compiler syntax sugar.
