Well, it can be done for 1.3.x, but it would need to be by adding
macros for the NEW names, so the old symbols still exist at link time.
We can't backport such a change to 1.2.x, since it involves adding
new symbols.
I wasn't thinking any of this would be appropriate for 1.2.x anyway.
As for 1.3.x, does that mean that within major version (1.x) there can
be no symbol loss at all, although 1.3.x isn't binary compatible with
1.2.x?
1.2.x-compiled apps must be binary compatible to 1.3.0 - or we have a problem.
If function arg signatures have changed, please point those out.
Of course, we need not ship 1.3.0 at all, if we believe it's better to move
forward to 2.0.0. In that version, binary compatibility isn't required.
