WRT the API, the various options for overloading the current strings
were considered and discussed and, while I knew that changing the ABI
could be problematic, it seemed to me that Nathan was encouraging the
addition of a new options string. This in turn lead me to believe that
it was not too late to change this API.
Yeah, this PMAPI addition can only be made via a new function.  IIRC
(gettin' old, there's a good chance I'm not RC), I had said something
to the effect that the two externally visible APIs would call a single
internal API, or the old would call the new with NULL options.  If I
didn't, that was the intention - sorry 'bout the ambiguity there.

Understood. Probably my misinterpretation.
