Hi,

lloda <lloda@sarc.name> skribis:

> I'm pleased to see all these fixes. However, I noticed a few breakages. They come from relying on undocumented behavior, but only using the public interface, so others might be affected. I don't propose to patch them, but perhaps to make a note in NEWS or (for the last two) to add a paragraph in the manual explaining how to achieve the same goal – the reference documentation doesn't have enough examples.

As discussed on IRC, I think we should consider restoring support for
these idioms, whether or not they conform to the reference, in an effort
to minimize breakage (especially since this is slated for a point
release).

WDYT, Tomas?
