I'd much rather see 1.near, 1.far, 1.both or something like that added in. Heck, we don't have to remove the support for the old 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 names either, just make the default be something more user friendly. C'mon, how many of you are programmed to believe that 1.2 is better than 1.0? But when they're not different, just just different placements, then it's confusing.
