 ~ Compatibilty
 
-Most of the proposed changes convert errors into no-ops.  There should be no
-compatibility concerns with those. The exceptions are the proposed changes to
-'''string first''', '''string last''', and '''string replace''', where current
-behavior is so inexplicable, it would be called a bug if it weren't
-documented. Changing those commands is an incompatibility, but likely a
-welcome one.
