You're assuming a bunch of facts not in evidence about how we choose to
present this functionality to clients, including a rather dubious
assumption that we'd choose to break backward compatibility.

My guess is that there will be some way to get the above behavior
(possibly implemented by client-library code rather than the backend),
but that it won't be the default.
