Actually, I wasn't sure we had reached consensus on the list before I
checked it in, so I got an explicit okay from Guido before I made the
changes.  I know I didn't think about binary compatibility, and
suspect that Guido overlooked it as well.

We got reviews of the patch, too.  Fred suggested a small cleanup of
the original patch.

That said, I don't object to binary compatibility.  I'm +0 on the
patch.
