As I say, I have a draft with lots more detail in, which I will tidy up 
after Christmas. I deliberately didn't link to it, because I want to 
re-read it myself before letting other people comment on it, and don't 
have the time right now.

My current inclination is to deprecate in 8.next, and remove in 9.0, but 
I want to make sure the argument for that is solid before putting it to 
a vote.
