Actually, *I* said deprecate, *you* said break. I don't see the word

No, but you don't see a lot of things. You're genuinely convinced that
your viewpoint is superior and singularly correct. I don't think
you're a reasonable arbiter of what functionality should be added or
removed from the stdlib.
