Yes it is.

That's my bad. In 3.1, we deprecated the old names in favor of the new,
but I didn't realize people were relying on the output-files method.
It would be trivial to provide dummy "forwarding" output-files methods
for the *fasl-op operations to just return the output-files of the underlying
new-name operation.

Patch accepted (I suppose).
