Sorry I didn't notice this earlier, but changing the function signature like
this is a complete ABI breakage.  Old code will be passing different arguments than
new code; therefore this change breaks both source and binary compatibility.

Is 19.02 supposed to be an ABI/API breaking release? Or only an incremental update.
