i'm a big fan of muti-method and multiple dispatch, because it is a
great way to customize the behaviour of a lib from outside with
plugin-like stuff. in this concrete situation i'm not sure about it,
but if the measuring doesn't prove a big overhead then i guess it's
fine...

i personally don't care about backward compatibility (one can always
chose not to get the new changes) and we are developers after all...
:)

now, darcs makes the management of patches (possibly with incompatible
changes in them) a lot easier, but i stop being a darcs advocate... :)
