--- Comment #3 from ady <[email protected]> ---
Generally speaking, introducing incompatibilities should be avoided.

Generally speaking, if a user wants a different behavior, then a different
method should be used, instead of modifying the normal behavior of a function
(even when the normal behavior might seem less useful). For instance, someone
could suggest the creation of a Calc extension, as oppose to implementing an
incompatible function in standard Calc.

There are many examples of this kind of issues, always giving priority to
compatibility whenever possible. Moreover, when incompatibilities cannot be
solved, alternative functions have been created. In any case, incompatibilities
_will_ cause problems, so they should be avoided whenever possible, as soon as
possible in order to limit the creation of backward incompatibilities within
Calc versions too.
