Indeed.

The reason I didn't do this was firstly out of principle that API breaks
are bad, but primarily because we use this code from a package, so there
may be other users.

I can still do the compatibility break, but it requires auditing other
users, and perhaps a multi-project lockstep change.

What do you think?

Thanks,

James
