        Sure - well, since they're in-lined I think this is prolly a sensible
API management rather than ABI management issue - and sal/ is a
sensitive area there; but yes - deprecating the old bits shortly would
be best :-) [ I wouldn't want to block the commit based on that - if
there is an incremental approach & committment to cleaning up our old
method invocations ]. IIRC we have a 'externally deprecated' semantic we
can use as well somewhere.

        oooh - the 'fromFoo' seems rather more descriptive to me ;-) and
shorter than both value and number ;->

        ;-) nice work here though Noel, thanks for persisting - looking forward
to seeing it on master.

        ATB,
