I know this would have been preferrable in my situation. A
"deprecation" warning would have helped quite a bit, both by allowing
the existing code to continue working, and giving me some time to
understand all the issues involved before freaking out. I'm not
totally sure it would have averted my original post, but it would have
been more of a considered freak-out and less of the sky-is-falling
kind.
