My thought was that if & when I ever go back to this code, the
chance of me remembering what the old APIs do is pretty small.
Upgrading therefore includes an element of reading the old docs
to reverse engineer my original intent :-)

But I take the point - this scenario is unlikely enough to be
not worth worrying about.

Thanks for your explanation,
Paul.
