This is an interesting idea, but I fear it is highly impractical and hard to
actually implement and maintain.

For every fork in functionality, we'd have to document both ways and test both
ways. And documenting those in a clear way is hard.

It becomes an exponential burden when you add more forks along the way.

I don't think this is practical.
