Yes, this would be ideal. But the only way to support the original
interface as well as the new interface would be duplicate *almost all*
of the strings in the generated output. Is this really what you want
to do? It will also mean supporting both interfaces (along with their
separate ways of generating strings -- runtime vs. generation-time) and
the additional code complexity of providing them both.
I had imagined that the API breakage that I was proposing might
constitute a minor (or perhaps even major) version number increment.
But do you feel that compatibility is more important than that?
