Well, yes, but the API stayed the same.

Indeed, but I don't like this.  I can imagine to use only one or two
of the eight parameters (probably with simple name aliases), setting
the other ones to default values as demonstrated by Alexei.  If the
user sets them explicitly, a compatibility formula should convert the
eight-parameter form to the new one.
