I haven't been following this much. Sorry. My day job isn't in this area any more (and I'm stuck using 2.4 :-().
Looking at the docs, I notice the "old" is different from what it used to be. Notably: 'e;' gets split into two tokens; and ">'abc';" gets split into 3. I'm pretty sure that baseline code doesn't split those at all. So there is a question of if "old" is fully backward compatible.
The "new" functionality looks great. That's what I was looking for when I filed the bug.
Thank you!
