That's a completely different matter from changing how code

Both components may be operating on specialized, prefix-named

and still break when the behavior of a global object changes.
To go back to the filesystem analogy, such a setting would be the
equivalent of a global boolean variable in std.file, which made
std.file.read return null if a file didn't exist.
