It is bad and we certainly shouldn't change it on release branches.
There are many ways to deal with it without bumping MOD_VERSION in a
backwards but not forwards compatible way, so that a newer compiler will be
able to parse old *.mod files, and newer compiler new ones as long as this
problematic stuff doesn't appear in.
