I am less concerned about incompatible changes that fix obvious bugs
when compared with the documentation than I am about "real" incompatible
changes, which I try to avoid if at all possible.

I am also not convinced that many others will be using existing
configurations that expect {} to be the same as {0}. Of course I may be
wrong - we are both just guessing here!

I suppose I could add something to README.UPDATING, which everybody is
supposed to read when they upgrade...

I did take a brief look at Nico's patch, but not in detail, as I trust
Nico. Are you there Nico?
