        This is the reason why I'm proposing while I like scalar
        object, use of
        namespace, etc.

    Again, you're contradicting yourself here - you can't say that
    your mission is to change the old names, rather than offer an
    alternative, but then also say that the old names will stay around
    forever. If both names exist, that's exactly what you've created -
    an alternative.

I think there is big difference between new API and alias. Alias is just a copy, new API works differently.

I agree. One difference is that new API is actually useful to people, whereas alias just adds to the confusion. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
