I may be convinced that we should not provide a backward-compatible
interface in this case.  But _then_, we should use a different name,
so that linking will fail hard with an undefined reference/symbol.  I
don't trust this in the compiler's hands only (as opposed to both the
link editor and the runtime linker).

Can we agree on a name change?  It probably needs a bump of CURRENT
(and setting AGE and REVISION to 0), and a simultaneous change of CVS
HEAD m4, I believe.  Any other sufferers?

Cheers,
Ralf
