-----------------------------------------------
Hi [~wenqiao],
I believe, [~istone] does have a point there. We should not break backwards
compatibility between minor versions. (I suppose, the next release would be
1.8, which is a minor.)
Even though I did not run/check the proposed solution, it does look fine to me
on a first read. (Ie. maintain backwards compatibility while displaying a
warning.).
