Maybe we could introduce a new namespace for the new api instead of turning the new api oop only (or using objects for groupping static stateless functions into objects only to hint that they are working with the same variable types). Combining this with the previously mentioned lets turn namespaces to first class citizens and allowing exporting whole namespaces to the current scope would make it possible to make the new api available in the global scope if needed. Ofc this still would be a huge task to rethink/reshape our current api.
