One of them.  The problem is there are other things we want to
break/change too, mostly at the Platypus level.


I had not seriously considered doing our 'clean break' BEFORE the

We're about to discuss this in the office.

I like that a lot.   Maybe 3-to-2 could support it, or annotations
could be added as part of the automatic 2-to-3 'batch job' we'd need.
