That's a tricky one. From the standards point of view, I am actually *very* reluctant to introduce new names. On the other hand, reusing the old names will lead to a couple of unhappy emails from people using the old interface again.

Heh, I distinctly remember several complaints from *you* in the past when things have changed in GHC!
I don't see a contradiction in these two statements. After all Alastair can only account for one complaint per change ...and he won't complain this time; so, there will be less. ;-) Manuel
