Having NSTimestampFormatter as a "symbol translating sub-class"
would ease the pain of transition for many.
Yeah, this is what I'm proposing as well ... I feel Pierre's pain with
not wanting to rewrite and maintain deprecated code, but I fear WO
becoming what everyone hates about Tapestry, which is that it goes
through huge breaking revisions every release. There is a large base
of legacy apps, and especially if there are relatively straightforward
deprecation routes, it would be better to not break than to break, I
think (this is obviously subject to a religious debate, I suspect).
I'm especially wary of breaking changes that just break semantics
rather than syntax. In this case, it's breaking the interpretation of
random strings inside of WODs, which will make for a really annoying
fix. Alternatively, I suppose someone could write a conversion app to
convert all the old style into new style, but that only partially
addresses the issue.
