Isn't it the case already that the old syntax will continue to be accepted,
by there being new insn entries added without removing the original ones?
IOW is it perhaps that you're asking for the old syntax to remain accepted
_silently_ (and don't claim this behavior will be removed)? If so, I'd like
to suggest to perhaps allow for diagnostics, but require a command line
option to turn them on.
