Excellent summary. I agree that #3 makes sense. The documentation  
should make it clear that the older functions will be moved out of  
core and into a compatibility library for 0.6. Then we'll gradually  
transition users to the new API.

I hope this can be a viable strategy for major API changes in the  
future. Deprecation > Compatibility file > Removal.

Thoughts?
