The implementation is easy. The hard part is actually getting it past the "all breaking changes [except the ones i create] are evil" crowd.

Nice, would be great to also have named unittest, so we can launch only specific ones instead of relying on third party libraries.

I am reminded of a classic quote from a Bette Midler concert: Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. ;-)

Merry First Holiday, even Merrier Second Holiday. And remember it's all about the winter solstice. The days are getting longer, well in a little while anyway.

Nice :o). Well the intent here was to start from an extreme. Clearly there are more than a few folks who'd be taken by surprise by the change. So we'd need to add a separate flag for this mode. -- Andrei
