Also, for any method or module renaming, there is no way around a full
grep through the code base to really catch all uses of the old API.

It may be tedious, especially with common names, but such bugs really
must be avoided as they can easily be -- I still could find uses of
old-style threading names, even in the stdlib. (Fixed in r64222.)
